Cherry Pickin’ pompous potentates.
To make their point they filter out, facts with handy blinders.
They’re mental minors – defenseless in debate.
“Wild Fire Crisis – The End Is Near”
they shout, “Kill Fossil Fuel to Avoid All Risk!!”
But they dismiss, cherries that they fear.

Land use practices from 1950 to 1999 have converted relatively large areas of grassland and woodlands to other land uses (agriculture, urban areas) but even with these changes, the annual area burning in California from 1950 to 1999 is very small when compared to the prehistoric period; Michael Buschbacher – Justice Department’s Environmental Division (2020-2021) Shocking Candor on Fuel Standard -Aug 24, 2023 – wsj.com – “Chinese Communist Party officials must be reading our wonderful environmental assessments for comic relief as they ramp up coal production.” >>>>

The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has expressed low confidence such weather events can be linked to human activities. Still, “it is a fertile field for cherry pickers,” ‘ notes Roger Pielke Jr Univ of Colorado – Center for Science and Technology Policy Research. >>>>
