    And such is the arrogance of the non-elected official of Globalist HQ, the United Nations.

    First some explanation.
    The following picture of downtown L.A. was posted by the NY Times on Nov 2, five days after the Getty fire in a story designed to be a hit piece on Trump and to support the narrative of the harm caused by human-caused climate change.


    The caption under it reads “Smoke from the Getty fire shrouded parts of Los Angeles this week.”

    Here are the facts.
    I live in downtown L.A.

    The Getty fire was located about 15 miles west of me, began before dawn on Monday October 28.

    At 9AM I went for a walk. I smelled some smoke, but the sky above was clear blue.

    I was returning from my walk a little before noon. There was some haze, but the sky above was only a bit gray.

    By that evening, I was working out for 2 hours, and I suffer from chronic asthma. I had no problem.

    At no time that day did downtown LA look like this.

    Conclusion: This photo was either from the archive from a different fire, or it was photoshopped. In either instance, it is a lie to say this is photo of downtown L.A. at any time October 28, 2019.

    I will leave up to the reader to decide on the veracity of the rest of the story.

      Just another reason for why Trump has to destroy the Corporate Mockingbird Media that has been controlling the narrative for so long.

      Thanks for that insight into just how lies can be presented as fact.

      I didn’t realize you lived in L.A. nor suffer from asthma. My younger brother has suffered from that curse all his life, so I know how debilitating an attack can be, especially to a chronic sufferer.

      I hope you have it under control.

        Pascal, I constantly am amazed at the left’s purposeful ignorance of science. There probably was an increase in air borne particulate from the fires, but at 15 miles away, the only particles present in LA would have been sub-micron in size and not visible to the naked eye during the day. It would be late in the afternoon before sunset or early morning when that picture was taken given that if it is a true color picture, the red/yellow washout would be caused by Rayleigh scattering. There is also a possibility depending on temperature and relative humidity, that some of that would be water vapor.

        I get time I’ll post what I know of why California pays more for lumber and building materials in general than does everywhere else practically on Earth, except Antarctica. Forest fires and building materials costs are related.

          You know you’re right about the time of day. The light being to the right in that pic, that is easterly. So morning. And yes, we get water vapor in morning. November is the time of year LAX most often gets socked in. My workout was between 5 and 7 PM, so that would have been straddling sundown, and like I said, my breathing was not labored as this photo would suggest it would have been.

          Last year’s fires was the first time in many years that my asthma, which is usually under control, caused me quite a lot of trouble. The fires this year are nothing thanks to them coming late in October rather than early like last year. So it’s cooler. And there are no dry Santa Anna (easterly, from the desert) winds accelerating the fires.

          So you are right, this could be the day after, on Tuesday, so that haze is more likely fog given a patina due to Rayleigh scattering in morning light than smog.

    We can do our bit.

    Schools that teach Climate Change and have a Drag Queen Story hour are not going to be teaching kids properly.

    Introduce Aristotle’s Ethics to a couple of kids. They get it very quickly. Homeschool as much as possible.

    Beware of the corporate communists and the climate cultists. The suit and the pagan is likely not there to help you and your family.

    I’m in SoCal not far from LA. I can confirm what Pascal said. Besides, the native tribes called the Los Angeles area the Valley of the Smokes.

    When flying into the LA basin, there is nearly always a haze layer which tops out around 4,000 agl. The haze is not always from man-made pollution, often it is haze from water vapor. Add a bit of dust, voila.

      Right Rick, tell them. Los Angeles is indeed water poor, but it is not humidity poor. The beach cities almost all summer long have that low hanging fog that Rick mentioned. It even has a name: the Coastal Eddy. It tends to move out beetween 1 and 3 PM most days, and then comes right back. So naturally, downtown LA, which is only about 12 miles from Santa Monica Bay, gets some of it, sometimes more and sometimes less.

      The only time that the beaches are completely clear of it is when the Santa Anna winds blow them out to sea. That is when you can see all of Santa Catalina Island, and even catch a glimpse of little Santa Barbara Island (~40 miles out from shore) when you are atop one of the steeper cliffs in Manhattan beach. People pay a lot to live on the beach, but they’ll tell you that when they can see the all the view that it’s worth it. YMMV.

        And that is a point that needs stressing, LA is in fact in a basin. And like all basins, it’s takes a good deal of either wind or daytime convection to clear the air.

    Here is part of an email I received from an expert in the field of California native plant recovery and land management. (Edited to remove some specific names.)

      Yes, recent fires are due to mismanagement of vegetation, but the causes of this situation go far beyond that. Fuel loads grew after Indians ceased managing with fire. That’s why the forests weren’t blowing up until 50-100 years later at the turn of the 19th to 20th Century. [California’s chatting class and politician]’s supposedly “Natural” conditions have never existed in fact. Through the first seventy years of the 20th Century, harvesting and particularly ranching kept down seedling counts and kept the understory more under control. Once those modern activities were abandoned pursuant to regulatory fantasy, with presuppositions similar to even [those of some poorly informed conservatives], fuels took off. But the causes of our current predicament are more than that.

      Natural climate change since the Little Ice Age has warmed oceans. CO2 came out of the warmer seawater into the atmosphere like Coke going flat. Increased CO2 has increased the rate of forest growth way beyond the historic envelope. Experimental data revealed a 65% increase in pine tree growth rates with the change in carbon dioxide levels since 1970 alone. In other words, these “climate change” idiots like [California governors] Brown and Noisome [sic] can’t even get their story straight about carbon dioxide, because their benefactors don’t want anybody making a profit cutting a tree.

    That last line probably strikes home with Darin.
