Independent Institute Senior Fellow, Lawrence McQuillan, on Wildfires & Climate Change

It's hard to clear out or burn underbrush due to power lines. Utility companies put the costs and liability on the homeowner to maintain their own tree trimming also, which must be done by licensed professionals and is exorbitantly costly. Oh…utility company will come out and drop the line for this work to proceed at no charge.

Mr. McQuillan is 100% correct. There is dead brush and trees everywhere! I've lived here 71 years and have witnessed this insanity first hand!

This has been planned in the making!! All our east coast Forrest are controlled burn. And NOT the West??…hmmm

That Smokey the Bear caused this mess!
Sierra Club stoped them cold with their ideology.
Only a few nuts controls the agenda and they are all left leaning tree huggers.

Whoever lost their home in these fires should sue the state of California.

I hear him talking but for some reason I can't look over to that side of the screen…. ❤️ Stephanie! 😍

Just because 99% of scientists believe in climate change don’t make it so. I went to Trump University so I no the fax

Earth is warming at the rate of 5 nuclear bombs per second

Ice is melting at 1 million tons per minute per year

4% of mammals are wild and 68% have been wiped out in 50 years

Humans & livestock caused 80% of extinctions, livestock cause 25% of infectious disease

Weather = flash floods + flash fires + flash droughts + flash mobs

Climate = 30 years of weather + you don't got time to worry about climate

1 million species of plants and animals at risk of extinction ( Nat Geo 2019 )

97% of great fresh water species gone since 1970 ( Guardian 2019 )

96% of mammals are livestock and human ( Ecowatch 2018 )

96% of tigers gone in 100 years ( IFL Science 2019 )

90% of elephants gone in 100 years ( Hurriet 2019 )

90% of lions gone in 100 years ( African Impact 2019 )

90% of Leatherback sea turtles gone since 1980 ( Earth Watch undated )

90% of Monarch Butterflies gone in 20 years ( Inhabitat 2014 )

80% of Antarctic Krill gone in 30 years ( Research Gate 2005 )

77% of Eastern lowland gorillas gone since 1996 ( Treehugger 2020 )

68% of world’s wildlife has been wiped out since 1970 ( Mongabay 2020 )

50% of Marine vertebrates gone since 1970 ( WWF 2015 )

50% of Great Barrier Reef gone since 1985 ( Live Science 2012 )

40% of Giraffes gone since 1990 ( NRDC 2019 )

40% less insects in next 30 years ( PNAS 2019 )

4% of mammals are wildlife ( Vegan News 2020 )

700 Marine Species Might Go Extinct Because of Plastic ( Green Planet 2019 )

500 vertebrate species of less than 1,000 individuals ( PNAS 2020 )

500 species of animal have gone extinct since 1900 ( RD 2019 )

With 23 billion chickens on earth, if one sneezes we all get the flu, covids et al are here to stay

Livestock use 80% of antibiotics, cause 50% of animal to human infectious disease, and the age of effective antibiotics is nearly over

Green Energy Sources & Numbers

2020 : 2% of global energy is solar and wind — after 20 yrs trying ( IEA stats 2020 )

2020 : CO2 up 60% in 30 yrs : up 30% in 15 yrs

2030 : 50% of world will be short of water

2040 : 15% of global energy will be renewable

2050 : 28% of global energy will be renewable, at best — assuming no snags or snafus

2050 : 600 ppm CO2 BAU = 2X safe limit of 300 ppm set by James Hansen

Vaclav Smil says energy transformations take a minimum of 75 years

This is because electricity is a little over 20% of global energy use

Multiple cascading tipping point collapse starts at 1.5 °C just like dominoes

We have to stop burning 50% of fuel in 10 years to stop runaway hothouse mass extinction

Runaway hothouse mass extinction cannot be stopped or reversed once started

REAL CLIMATE JUSTICE = 100% PRIVATE GLOBAL CARBON UBI = 0% FOR GOVERNMENTS

The key to effective private dividends is a monthly rebate deposit to citizens.

Private dividends were first proposed by James Hansen and several economists 10 years ago

27 Nobel Prize winning economists support Hansen's dividends, including:

3,589 U.S. Economists, 4 Former Chairs of the Federal Reserve and

ALL 15 Former Chairs of the Council of Economic Advisers

He said private monthly dividends would unite left and right to reduce emissions faster than any other way

Dams and bio-energy are ecological disaster zones

80% of river life is gone and water dam wars are in Africa and Asia

50% of Euro Nord renewable electricity comes from burning imported trees

We can’t burn forests for electricity to save us from the climate

We can’t build wildfire suppression big enough to handle future wildfires

Forest fires will burn faster than we can plant trees

We burn corn, soy and palm oil in cars and will do so until 2030 so far

We burn recycled plastic and paper for electricity and call it recycled electricity

Plastic harms the plankton that produce 10% of earth's oxygen

In the last 20 years, petrochemical demand grew 7X human population

We don’t have enough land for bio-energy and carbon capture, we're losing soil and water too fast

To get 30% of energy from algae would take a country the size of Argentina

To get 20% of global energy from solar in 30 years, we need panels 3X faster than now

By 2050, there will be 78 million metric tons of solar panel waste, generating 6 million metric tons of new solar panel waste annually. Standard electronics recycling methods don’t cut it for solar panels. ( Wired )

By 2040 not even half of all cars will be electric

By 2040 we will have 10% less food, water and habitat if we’re lucky
Okay, it's nap time zzz…

OAN is it now that soros runs fox

They need to get an permit to get an permit which is stack on top of another permit which is stack under another permit. After you get your permit you need to get another permit which you need another permit to get that permit from before after that the permit you got will need another permit which is around on the other side. Take an drink for every permit you see in this comment because there were a lot of permit. Lol
