Government Censorship.. Thoughts?

A government study was recently scrubbed from the internet. Wild fires were over 10x worse from what we experience today yet the increase in wild fires are always attributed to human global warming. This is not an argument against human related global warming, but why should such studies be cancelled from the conversation? We use recent wild fires as evidence of global warming, yet conditions were much worse 100 years ago. Thoughts?Fire

LOL, he really thinks that fires from 1500-1800, when most of America was only inhabited by Native Americans is comparable at all to fires today where we have all kinds of technology to prevent them.

 

Maybe it’s because a little invention called THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.  Ever think of that?

I just did a google search and the govt study was the first result. How is this being scrubbed from the internet? This place is teeming with hacks with political neurosis

 

Looks like you're correct. The original .gov link I had saved for this study has changed. 

I'm not a political hack - I was asking a genuine question for something I was interested in. People can, you know, be wrong sometimes?

 

So the link for the study changed and your first instinct was not to take the 10-30 seconds to see, on a search engine as shitty as Google, if it was still available but instead write a thread on WSO about govt censorship? 

 

I just find it hilarious how no one likes to admit that wildfires are a natual course of events in forest health management.  The "worst fire year on record" in CA was 2020 with 4.4 million acres burned.  But if you look at acres burned it was at the low end of annual historical acres burned.  It used to be a yearly occurance for 3 - 7 million acres to burn in California.  Legit California was described by early explorers as a "burning hellhole that must resemble what hell on earth looks like".   We have a problem with wildfires now because we have pushed surburban development into wildfire prone areas.

The difficult answer is because 'global warming' is not a legitimate existential threat so anything and everything, from cold weather to hot weather to storms is now attributed to 'climate change'. Ignore that damage and casualties from floods, hurricanes, droughts, etc. are at historic lows. Ignore how off all predictions have been. Ignore the climate is always changing.

It's a power grab plain and simple. A catch all to push through unnecessary regulation, extend power of the state, control populations, etc. On the brightside it is funny to see how many Gen Zers live in anxiety and fear on a day to day basis over the threat of climate change lmao
