      Ever been hiking in the San Gabriels? What do you see and smell there? You see brush and sage; both are native to the region.

      You probably bring back some sage because it smells so good. But don't forget that what you're smelling is also fuel; fuel that burns.

      The ignition doesn't matter: whether it's a lightening strike or a match, brush and sage are *meant* to burn. It's a natural, good process.

      Listen to indigenous peoples in Southern Cali or you look at fire history, you'll know brush and sage areas always burn. It's not new here!

      What used to happen in Southern California is that fire would come through a brush region; it would burn and burn slowly over months.

      In the past, people didn't die in the Southern California fires because they weren't ignorant enough to try to live in a carpet bomb.

      Zero homes burned down because, again, people weren't entitled enough to think they could build a home in the middle of fireland.

      But over time (maybe spurred by fear of black/brown neighbors), rich people somehow thought it a good idea to build homes in the mountains.

      And, because rich people wield incredible influence, federal, state, and local authorities came to try to eliminate wildfires.

      Like... they're actually called wildfires. They're wild. And we somehow think we can tame them? Nah.

          In the past, fires used to burn slowly, and in patches: old growth would burn a lot... but it would get restricted by new growth.

          Letting fire burn in the sage and chaparral regions of Southern California is the only way we avoid the GIGANTIC fires we're known for now.

          Look at Mount Wilson: The LA Times documented long, slow burning fires there in 1896. And 1898. And 1900. That's what's BEEN happening.

          But now, the forestry puts fires out in an INSTANT. Our policy is one of fire *suppression* that only makes things worse.

          As someone who knows that climate change is spurring all kinds of disasters, I also know that it's not spurring these Southern Cali fires.

          It's almost certain that the drought here is a consequence of climate change... But that drought isn't the reason we've these crazy fires.

          Reason Southern Cali fires are out of control is a direct consequence of the idea that we can suppress wildfires. Umm, hello? They're WILD.

          Nature will take its course. Fuel-filled sage and brush ALWAYS burns; either slow, long burn now, or GIGANTIC quick burn tomorrow. You pick.
