First of all, here’s President Trump’s tweet from this morning about the California wildfires:
The California Fire Fighters, FEMA and First Responders are amazing and very brave. Thank you and God Bless you all!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2018
That’s not the tweet that has Los Angeles County’s fire chief ticked off though; it’s this one from Sunday:
With proper Forest Management, we can stop the devastation constantly going on in California. Get Smart!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 11, 2018
NBC News reports that the fire chief would like President Trump to know “we’re in extreme climate change right now.” Not just climate change, but extreme climate change … right now.
A 1 degree Celsius shift in global temperature over the course of hundreds of years then POOF. Wildfires. https://t.co/jYzkqBAFqb

Yep that 1 degree made millions of tons of brush and dead wood. Might want to look at the tree huggers that claim kindling makes for woodpecker homes. Woodpecker homes > human life

PROVE "we're in extreme climate change", and THEN prove that was a cause for this years' fires?

Fire chiefs are not scientists, and therefore should not be concluding in the media that this is a climate change issue. Focus on containing the fire. That's what's important now.

Neither Bill Nye nor Al Gore is a scientist either, but it hasn’t stopped them.

Yea. Climate change. It took 100 years to get the temp 5/10 of a degree warmer off CO2 emissions. Anyone pushing this scam should have his head examined.

It's called a drought. California has always had them. Oh look, we were in a drought exactly 1 century ago too. And Santa Ana winds are also nothing new. I know Cal officials are required to cite climate change every time anything happens, but we've always had wildfires. pic.twitter.com/9qmnlsJFWQ

Chief needs to read this;https://t.co/kZbipXn1pU

Power lines caused the fire and it spread because you fail to clear the underbrush. Climate change? GTFO

He and NBC are up to their ankles in BS right now. This is not the time for your politics. Historically this has been a problem out there. Difference is that homes are in the way now. Should have never been built there without fire barriers. Remove the homes or nature will.

"How dare the president blame flammable plant material for fires. We all know the Gods of the Climate are displeased!"
— John Norcali (@JohnNorcali) November 12, 2018
An excuse. The valid question is why this happens seemingly every year in California? Is there no prevention strategy?

If climate change is causing problems… shouldn't forest management be more proactive? pic.twitter.com/s6d5vNQlbR

Good point.
How about we spend some time not blaming forest management or the mythical climate change beast and help these people save their homes.
