California has been ravaged by wildfires again this season. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is back swinging in the dark at President Trump.
Schiff who is trying very hard to remain relevant, takes a pot shot at POTUS regarding the…weather.
Seriously, The Weather?! Climate Change?
Just when you thought it was safe to try and listen to the opposing side’s perspective, Schiff comes out of the blue and makes a crazy partisan statement!
Of course, this isn’t the first time Adam has said something completely outrageous simply to oppose the President, regardless if it is factually based or not.
Recently, President Trump tweets about the horrific wildfires, he says:
“California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren’t allowing massive amounts of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree clear to stop fire from spreading!”
Makes sense, use the water to douse existing fires instead of dumping it back into the ocean. Furthermore, clear any dead trees to stop instant fires that may combust.
Adam Schiff, could not help himself by responding to the President. Specifically, he blames the wildfires on “climate change.”
Additionally, the California congressman replies, “You’ve been in office for 18 LONG months and you still don’t have a science adviser, so allow me to help.” (Newsflash, Schiff, it will be an even longer six and half years!)
Moreover, Adam continues, “Environmental protections have nothing to do with the wildfires in CA. Climate change does. We’re not going to let you use fires as an excuse to clear-cut our forests.”
It’s difficult to decide which is MORE wrong about Adam’s last sentence. If the part about “environmental protection” having nothing to do with wildfires. Or, if he blames the fires exclusively on “climate change.”
Kimberly Strassel, WSJ journalist, effectively points to the Government report from California that shows Pres Trump to be correct.
The Daily Caller reports on Kimberly Strassel’s response tweet to Schiff. She corrects Schiff with an actual USDA Forest Service report.
She tweets, “Allow me to help YOU, Mr. Schiff. Here is a link to December USDA report showing a record 129 million dead trees in California, citing forest mismanagement for fires. Your own California state fire office signed on to it.” https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd566303.pdf …
BOOM! Strassel proves, Schiff is simply defying whatever President Trump says as a partisan hack, despite what is best for California and her trees and her people.
Specifically, the Forest Service report states there are “a staggering 129 million dead trees in the state, the work of the task force is far from over.”
Furthermore, fires are expected unless they utilize the “over $21 million in grants aimed to protect watersheds, remove dead trees and restore our forests,” click here to see the report.

You've been in office for 18 LONG months and you still don't have a science adviser, so allow me to help.
Environmental protections have nothing to do with the wildfires in CA. Climate change does.
