Finland’s Solution to Wildfires – Raking
I’m not going to comment on Trump’s visit to wildfire-ravaged California beyond saying this is the latest episode of Trump holding the position of number one global embarrassment. What an idiot. In his own words:
On forest management:
“You’ve got to take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forest, very important. You look at other countries where they do it differently and it’s a whole different story.”
“I was with the president of Finland and he said, ‘We have a much different—we’re a forest nation.’ He called it a forest nation, and they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things. And they don’t have any problem. And when it is, it’s a very small problem, so I know everybody is looking at it to that end and it’s going to work out, it’s going to work out well.”
On climate:
“Maybe it contributes a little bit. The big problem we have is management.”
“No. No. I have a strong opinion: I want great climate, we’re going to have that.”
Again, this guy is an idiot. ‘Nuff said.
