In reply to Otis Needleman. Please see my earlier comment on win-win options.

The simplest comment here is that many ideas essential if mainstream views are correct make sense even if climate change were a damp squib or temperatures fell e.g following a major volcanic eruption like Tambora in 1815. Examples include less waste, silviculture, restoring fish stocks, combining conservation with careful use (e.g. rewilded bison) and reducing the impact per head and probably numbers of conventional livestock. So, given the choice of adopting such win-win options or bickering over who was right, which did humanity choose over the last 30 – 40 years? I can only apologise to today’s youngsters for how useless older politicians, policy makers and greedy vested interests have been here.

In reply to Chris. Yes, the climate has changed over the billions of years the earth has existed, but mountains of research have shown that certain human activities are fueling change in a way that’s much faster than we’ve ever seen. We should do everything we can to slow it down.

Maybe all the environmental restrictions and California desire for climate controls have something to do with the fires.
The more you have the worse it appears.
Of course the climate is changes it always has. Yosemite was once covered with ice. There must have been significant climate change to melt that away.

I Was googling why the Anasazi died off, it brought up some interesting droughts, there was a 23 year drought, 55 year drought, then a 95 year drought, why not focus on YEARS of over growth and mismanagement in our land management agencies, remove the Bernanke vegetation instead of wringing your hands over “climate change” theory as people try and figure out why all the overgrowth of vegetation in some dry years, so if we are in a “climate change cycle” it becomes even more important to remove vegetation before overgrowth burns and we have to breathe decades of public lands mismanagement.

In reply to Otis Needleman. You’re confusing weather and climate.

The climate changes constantly. The Earth has had Ice Ages and warmer periods. Human activity has only a limited effect on climate. Face it, when you have heavy snow in Colorado/Wyoming in late summer, as happened a couple of weeks ago, that’s no sign of the much-ballyhooed “global warming”.

I am sorry for your losses and stress. I can’t imagine how you manage. I have one thought – BioChar. Not only would it increase the ability of the land to absorb what water you do receive but increases the fertility of your pastures, and is wonderful for livestock. It is also known as terra preta from the Amazon. Modern Farmer should do an article.
