Jerry Brown’s Contribution to Camp Fire

Jerry Brown’s attempt to blame the Camp Fire on those who don’t buy into the political doctrine of anthropogenic global warming is so ludicrous that you might wonder if Brown himself is partially responsible for the catastrophe. This might explain why he is so desperate to shift blame onto scapegoats:

The California state agency charged with overseeing utility companies took nine years to develop a consistent statewide map designating areas at high risk for destructive power-line fires.

Seven of those years took place during outgoing Gov. Jerry Brown’s time in office…

A PG&E transmission line malfunctioned just before the Camp Fire started and is suspected of having caused it. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has oversight over scandal-riddled PG&E, but is ineffectual and controlled by the utility companies it is supposed to regulate.

Governor Moonbeam has been no help:

Brown vetoed a wildfire-related bill that would have required the CPUC to work with municipalities to ensure that the utility companies were doing all they could to prevent fires in high-risk areas, arguing it was redundant. The measure was aimed at speeding up the map-making process and requiring local officials’ input.

The map making is to identify areas that require extra attention to prevent wildfires. Such maps are likely to be more useful for preventing fires than the global warming duckspeak Brown offers in place of solutions.
