Dozens of people were killed in these catastrophic wildfires, many thousands of homes and structures destroyed and the tragedy continues to this day as many thousands of people try to piece their lives back together having lost everything in many cases. All of which cost tens of $-billions of dollars.

Insurers Fleeing Wildfire Exposure
Will Our Children Inherit A Bleak Future?
It may be snowing outside in many places, but the summer wildfire season is now just 5-months away! Now is the time to start using sites like simplysurvival.com and preparing for the worst that could happen. Having a stockpile of essential items could really help you be prepared for the unknown.
Given the obtuse rhetoric coming from the priesthood of the Let It Burn scientist-environmentalists who kiss the ring of grant-stream funding, our futures and that of our children and grandchildren may be very blackened and bleak.
In the photo above, we clearly see some of the total devastation from the Chetco Bar Fire, which was a ‘megafire’ (>100k acres) that erupted and was fueled primarily by dry grass and brush growing on the burn-scars of prior fires, as we read here:
“The fire ignited after a lightning strike on July 12 and spread along the burn scar where the Biscuit Fire burned in 2002, one of the largest in Oregon, and where the Silver Fire spread in 1987.”
The annual grass and brush of the burn-scars being the primary wildfire fuel made this fire so hot it melted aluminum as we see in the following photos, also provided as a courtesy by Katrina Thompson-Upton, whose family (Thompson residence) lost their home, possessions and a lot more in the Chetco Bar Fire.
The ideologues running and supporting the Agenda 21 and Let It Burn agendas are redefining and assigning new words to old problems to suit their evolving narratives as in the case of catastrophic wildfire, where the ghastly costs and risks of firefighting related to inadequate wildfire prevention leading to catastrophic wildfire must be obfuscated because the truth is most inconvenient for some. These ideologues essentially did the same thing when they started losing the debate over ‘global warming’ and subsequently defaulted to defining the planet’s natural climate cycles as ‘climate change’ in a feeble attempt to save-face. Some stubborn scientists don’t seem to have the time or money to maintain a holistic overview of evolutionary changes in the interrelated ecological communities that affect forest health and have doubled-down on obtuse ideologies instead of science: More here: https://www.westernjournal.com/wildfire-battle-environmentalists-double-down-on-letting-forests-burn/ Now as a part of their modus operandi, we see they have gradually morphed away from the term ‘firefighting’, which costs boatloads of our money and comes after the fires begin, and now much prefer the more nebulous term of ‘suppression’.
