Finns have taken President Donald Trump to task over his wild assertion that their “forest nation” avoids deadly blazes by spending “a lot of time on raking and cleaning.”
“You’ve got to take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forest, very important,” Trump said Saturday during a tour of the destruction left in the wake of the Camp fire.
The president then recounted an alleged conversation with Finnish President Sauli Niinistö in which he was told about the benefits of raking.
“And they don’t have a problem,” Trump said. “And when they do, it’s a very small problem.”
On Sunday, Niinistö said that he doesn’t recall raking ever coming up during his brief interaction with Trump earlier this month.
While critics at home have pointed out the many extreme differences between the climates of California and Finland (a quarter of which lies within the Arctic Circle), the Finns have hilariously responded to Trump’s suggestion on social media. ----MORE----

He had Finland confused with the forest moon of Endor.

Whether bull dozed or raked, he's got the idea correct, in layman's terms. And according to the experts, Trump is exactly right and the l*****ts, even now, resist allowing for good forest management. They shoot themselves in the foot.

We could give a rake to each trump illegal and put them to work. Since most of the forest is under Federal management.

That's a very good idea. Get some use out of them, and then deport their asses.

Booby, that is proof you and your fellow moonbats understand NOTHING and automatically try to turn everything trumpy says around to fit your warped ideation.

TRUMP WAS RIGHT: Jerry Brown Eased California Logging Rules Back In August

November 19, 2018
Months ago, California Gov. Jerry Brown urged state lawmakers to loosen restrictive logging regulations put in place to appease environmentalists -- a move that appears to have confirmed that President Trump's recent critiques of state logging practices was correct.

The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported back in August that Brown was proposing one of the most significant changes to the state's logging rules in nearly half a century.

"Gov. Jerry Brown is proposing broad new changes to California’s logging rules that would allow landowners to cut larger trees and build temporary roads without obtaining a permit as a way to thin more forests across the state," the paper reported.

Environmentalists in California weren't on board. They've been pushing for years to make California's logging rules more restrictive, not less -- but forest fires in recent years appeared to change the calculus for certain lawmakers.

"Under Brown’s proposal, private landowners would be able to cut trees up to 36 inches in diameter — up from the current 26 inches — on property 300 acres or less without getting a timber harvest permit from the state, as long as their purpose was to thin forests to reduce fire risk," the Sentinel reported. "They also would be able to build roads of up to 600 feet long without getting a permit, as long as they repaired and replanted them."

Forests, particularly in northern California, California lawmakers admitted, have become dangerously overgrown. But there's currently little incentive for landowners to clear their trees — they are only allowed to clear dead and decaying wood and undergrowth and can't clear healthy tress. By allowing landowners to recover some money from the process — letting them create and sell lumber, for instance — it could incentivize them to make bigger changes.

Environmentalists said they were worried landowners would go way too far, cutting down ancient redwoods or clear-cutting property, but even the most ardent environmentalists admit that some thinning is needed.

Despite his own embrace of new logging rules back in August, Gov. Jerry Brown balked at President Donald Trump's suggestion that poor forestry and poor forest management might be to blame for the massive wildfires that ripped through northern and southern California earlier this month, claiming dozens of lives and tens of thousands of acres.

“There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor,” the president tweeted while he was in France observing the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I. “Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!”

“Our focus is on the Californians impacted by these fires and the first responders and firefighters working around the clock to save lives and property — not on the president’s inane, uninformed tweets," Brown's office responded.

Instead, Brown blamed g****l w*****g for the uptick in fires.

The president may not have been wholly correct but it seems he was certainly on to something.

You won't hear that in the f**e media about moonbeam Brown...

Geography and Climate was never Trumps strong point. Trump quote: I HAVE HEARD FROM A NUMBER OF PROPLE AND THEY ARE REALLY SMART PEOPLE, that when you rake the ice in the attic circle ⭕️ you have less chance of forest fires. California to take lessons from the fins.

So I tried to send this snap shot to Trump but he ignored it.

moldyoldy

The giant redwoods are not burning. Different climate.

moldyoldy

All those housing developments that burned, do not look like forests.

Kevyn

the raking comment was just another moronic Trump lie. Opening forests to logging as the Pumpkinfuhrer wants isn’t the solution either. Loggers want older high value trees not the scrub brush that feed the wildfires. What would work best is Trumps biggest enemy, regulation. Strict building and landscaping codes in fire prone areas including retrofitting existing neighborhoods with resources provided for those who can’t afford the upgrades would save both property and life. Mitigating c*****e c****e will reduce the issue in the future.

Trump is just a city boy unable to get his point across. He is right that the forest floor does have the fuels that feed fires.. Raking works near your house but the forest needs prescribed burning and a network of roads and firebreaks. Even that doesn't stand much of a chance when there is high winds and prolonged drought.

nwtk2007 Loc: Texas

The surrounding area is a combination of scrub and low trees and the clean up of dead biomass has been halted by the l*****ts wanting "natural" conditions. It's all linked and you'd know it if you honestly read a little about it. Failure to admit what we all know is simply you being disingenuous. Fact, it was a huge burn made especially hot and difficult to control due to the build up of dead biomass secondary to policies of the left in California. Period.

nwtk2007 Loc: Texas

Like I said, raking or bulldozing, thinning out dead or dying trees, what ever. Maybe Trump is using the simple term so as not to send this over your head and thus you, failing to get the point!

Bulls**t! The problem with the forests burning up is the ridiculously STUPID environmental rules put in place by obammy.


The Catastrophic Canard of C*****e C****e
Gov. Jerry Brown has spent a great deal of time jetting around the world spouting c*****e c****e propaganda, and now he calls these year-round wildfires California’s “new normal.”

Rep. McClintock pointed out the obvious: the same c*****e c****e impacts private lands as public lands, but private forests are not burning down because they are properly managed. Or if a fire does break out on privately managed forest land, it is often extinguished more quickly and easily because the trees aren’t so close together, and the underbrush has been cleared away.

We are now living with the result of radical environmentalism ideology – that we should abandon our public lands to overpopulation, overgrowth, and in essence, benign neglect, McClintock said. “Forest fires, fueled by decades of pent up overgrowth are now increasing in their frequency and intensity and destruction.”

He added, “excess timber WILL come out of the forest in one of only two ways. It is either carried out or it burns out.”

McClintock was able to pass legislation last year, which streamlined the environmental reviews for the Tahoe Basin. “The Forest Service regional manager told me it will take their review from 800 pages to 40 pages, and allow them to begin to get the forest there back to a sustainable level,” McClintock said.

Trumpy has it right whether you and your fellow moonbats like it or not.
