I agree. In eastern Washington we've seen coordinated/planned arson events. They know when the wind is about to kick up then they start numerous fires at the same time to overwhelm firefighting efforts. That being said people need to use the concept of "defensible space" around their homes and not expect anyone to show up and come save them/put it out. I would like to see a program where people can apply for "defensible space" assistance ie for the elderly and handicapped.

Money for wars not for water

[@katzi1111]

Los Angeles is burning, and it’s not just a natural disaster - it’s a catastrophic failure of leadership. Politicians like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass have prioritized virtue signaling their luxury beliefs over practical governance, blindly cutting fire department funding by 17.6 M , ignoring long-running water and forest management issues, and then blaming “climate change” as the real culprit. Meanwhile, DEI initiatives have entirely overshadowed actually getting the job done when it comes to hiring key civil servants. This isn’t just about wildfires - it’s about what happens when we elect talkers instead of doers. California’s leaders have repeatedly failed their citizens, leaving them to suffer the consequences. What will it take for voters to finally demand accountability? We will never find justice in a world where criminals make all the rules.. Sign the petition ( It's online) to recall the CORRUPT FOOLS !!! People died because of their incompetence. They ARE liable. Tribunals!

Thirteen fatalities seems optimistically low.

[@mattglasgow4383]

Wildfires are very, very, very destructive. However, I would not be surprised if generally they are not deadly. Usually, wildfires start in sparsely populated areas with dry brush for fuel and spread to populated areas. There is usually enough time to predict where a fire is going and evacuate the residents before the fire spreads over there. The dead ones are usually the ones who chose to stay behind. I hope they all rest in peace and their families find solace, but it is just a reminder everything can easily be lost with a stupid, yet admirable decision.

[@JohnDoe-tx8lq]

They can only report what they find. No point anyone saying there are far more dead when they don't know. You'll just devastate families who are trying to contact missing people.

[@mattglasgow4383]

@@JohnDoe-tx8lq That is true to and something I haven’t even considered when I wrote my reply. The death toll will probably rise as the fire quenches and responders can assess the destruction.

[@sbowesuk981]

The fatality count will be WAY higher than the current number. We're just getting the confirmed number while the disaster is underway. When the dust settles, I'm betting a lot of dead are found still in their properties, assuming there's anything left to find.

10:13 No we must not just "reduce" emissions, we must stop them, and so stop drilling. And sure emission will grow in poor countries, but their emission per capita is and will stay far lower than the emission of the US or UK or Europe, so putting the blame on them is very cynical. Not to mention many "developing countries" are producing the goods we are consuming, so we should be accountable for the corresponding emissions.

[@CalmAbidingx]

Even with this short panel, Channel 4 felt the need to include someone like Dr Sivaram, who is an energy executive, albeit a clean energy exec, to "temper" the truth that Peter Kalmus was speaking on (including the noticeable editing of Kalmus' responses...). Advising people that they just need to get used to "adapting" to climate change, and saying something as pointedly idiotic as "The US can't do anything to curb climate change at this point," is so irresponsible and frankly insulting to the people of California living through this disaster. To then pin climate change on developing countries emissions is beyond dishonest -- developed countries per capita greenhouse gas emissions are more than 2x those of developing countries, and over 4x higher than the poorest countries -- this is as of October 2024. What a fucking joke.

It's just propaganda. They need to find the way how to redirect the attention from the government incompetence so yeah, the magic words: climate change. Not the lack of water in the water hydrants. Ridiculous. Don't look for the accurate news on this channel

[@Mandy-kn3er]

Regardless of cause, you have to be prepared for whatever disaster is prevalent in your area. If it’s fire, then ensure you have a reliable water source to fight it. Also backburning and clearing forest floors of fuel.

Adding there are sometimes going to be the perfect storm where everything comes together in the right/wrong way to be disastrous

I appreciate the report. With 2 men with doctoral degrees on the climate, I feel that it would be more balanced if you had an opinion from the other side, in addition. I am not disputing anything they said, exactly. But there is a lot to examine and know. I am just wondering what kind of vehicles the two doctors drive. I would assume electric or something that is non-fossil fuel based. Attributing all weather conditions to fossil fuel use just seems imbalanced. Forest fires and wild fires are nothing new, although they are absolutely tragic and we need to work to prevent them. Have a look at some of the fire prevention strategies in Switzerland that are really, really old. Love and gratitude to all the fire fighters from LA, parts of the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Beautiful people working in very difficult conditions. Thanks to so many volunteers helping with food trucks and other types of aid. Amazing human beings! From lady in Canada.

EVs use COAL POWER for the most part

[@unpopulartopic9237]

I’m Mexican and 75 firefighters is embarrassing

[@unpopulartopic9237]

But then again tragic house fires are almost nonexistent in Mexico

Is this so unexpected with a Governor more interested in 'Trump-Proofing' instead of 'Fire-Proofing.' Newsom and Bass should resign in light of their gross negligence and incompetence.

California needs(imho) much more aggressive management of their urban fringe of wildland around city's for fire control, I know it's nice to be able to not have to go very far to go walking in these picturesque areas just outside the city but you can't have both, picturesque walks and good fire protection in high risk fire zones. They had the same problem in Australia when they stopped people from burning protection perimeters around their properties and then massive fire swept through the regions and burned all the homes down. It doesn't help that properties that are of wooden construction with bituminous shingle roofs are still allowed in high fire risk areas(with perimeter zones) when there's much more fire resistant materials they could be using (like hempcrete which is very fire resistant) for walls and roof tiles. Building constructed with wood with bituminous shingle roofs doesn't take into account 100mph winds landing hot embers from outside the perimeter zones all over your flammable roof. Rip all those that have died, my heart goes out to everyone that has lost their home and thanks to all the teams fighting to stop these fires.

All the evidence destroyed…

No surprise. Read your California history Vallejo was : Mexican French Native! Let call him. Little CHICO!

Yes, as the Council on Foreign Relations Fellow says, "Let's reduce their greenhouse gas emissions."

[@Chi_chi_chia]

"What's wrong with them?" WOW! [11:17]

[@Cherry-k5e]

Theres an old saying "Its only bricks and mortar " but its not even that. Its only boards and paper for the most part , or was. It will get dealt with dont worry.

[@digglerdudeuk]

Don't look up!

Drill baby drill!

Unfortunately our tech base is not advanced enough to do away with fossil fuels.

The warmologist should move to Alaska if the thinks LA is too hot for his taste.

[@godbless9563]

Damn this is something like Tulsa.

Looting happening in Washington DC on a scale in the trillions.

[@MultiMarty25]

They reckon California/Los Angeles was the most expensive state/area in the USA to live and work in-id say thats about to change.

[@dominiquebouvier8887]

Canada has sent firefighters too and planes. Why din’t you mention it ?

[@nishadhendrix7914]

Natural calamity 😮
