He doesn't fucking care. He absolutely blames "Antifa and environmentalists!" for it. He will never change his opinion.

There's some truth to environmentalists being to blame for this. Retarded environmental standards essentially stopped controlled burning in western coastal states. Burnings that experts agree would have prevented runaway massive fires.

Can you show me where "environmentalists" are to blame for that? I remember in last year's fires it was brought up that they started on federal land after the budget for maintenance was cut. I'd be interested if there's actually a trail of events that can be traced back to "environmentalists"

there are the regulation-related barriers. Air board approval is one bottleneck. The experts interviewed felt that the working definition of “acceptable weather conditions” has been strict, which can cut short multi-day burn plans. There are also many local air boards around the state, and a lack of consistency can create problems for burn projects that have to involve more than one of them.

There’s some friction, in that the particulate pollution and carbon dioxide emissions of prescribed burns are counted as human-caused, while emissions from wildfires go in a separate category. There’s no offset for prescribed burns reducing potential wildfire emissions.

It’s also true that burns supported by state or federal grants have to undergo additional environmental reviews, which can sometimes hold up projects past windows of opportunity. The researchers say that the experts they talked to felt these reviews are designed for larger projects and don’t work well with prescribed burns. They were also leery of weakening environmental protections, though, so there was no clear recommendation.
