If You Really Want to Blame Somebody, Governor Moonbeam…
Nov 12, 2018
RUSH: The fires are another raging issue out there. You know, I have never known, I have never known how fires are named. Dawn, have you known how fires are named? Scott, have you known how fires…? You probably know. It’s probably the kind of thing that you’ve known since you were five, right? I have never known how fires were named. Like, we’ve got the Woolsey Fire here, and we’ve got the Camp fire up in Northern California.
I’ve never bothered to look into how they’re named. It’s really rather simple, and there’s nothing mysterious about it. They name these fires rapidly. The firefighters usually first ones on the scene do it just to be able to have everybody know which fire that they are talking about. And, for example, the Camp Fire which is in Butte County, which is north of Sacramento. It’s burned 109,000 acres. The Camp Fire has killed 23 people. It’s destroyed 6,453 homes as of yesterday morning. It got us its name from Camp Creek Road.
Geographic locations are often how these things get named. I didn’t know this. So Camp Creek Road is near where the fire is thought to have started. The Woolsey Fire in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties has burned 83,275 acres. Two people have been killed and 177 homes destroyed as of Saturday night. That was named for Woolsey Canyon Road, at least according to the Los Angeles Times. So these two fires been named after streets. I’ve never just took the time to figure out how they were named.
I thought at some point a journalist would include that in story about it, but no journalist ever has. They just assume it’s one of those things, I guess… Maybe they don’t know, and since journalists aren’t curious anymore, since there’s no way to link the name of the fire to Trump, then there probably is… Although Governor Moonbeam… Get this: Governor Moonbeam of California is blaming climate change deniers for the fires in California. Deniers!
If anything… If you want to blame these fires on anything — and I think it’s a tough thing to try to do because it’s nature. The starting of the fire and the growth, the building, the intensity of fire are two different things, and the intensity and the growth and the spreading of these fires clearly is because environmentalist wackos in California will not let you clear these forests. You can’t get rid of the deadwood. You can’t get rid of the under growth.
