Everyone told you so! The immoral content is that California has been the bastion of protecting the climate through conservation and environmental stewardship. It is the Political Right Wing of the USA that has imposed their lack of will to protect the lives of people and property across the nation.
My grandmother once said to one of her five sons, "You made your bed, now lie in it."
I would expect the Governor and the people of California taking on the federal government for financial support to their burgeoning and continuing tragedy as did Governor Christi with Superstorm Sandy. It is the same Climate Crisis after all. Governor Christi demanded a federal grant to relieve a "Donor State" of a tragedy that would lead to a greater hardship to the USA. I would expect California to follow suit. California has done absolutely nothing to propagate this new reality for them.

LOS ANGELES — A fast-growing wildfire (click here) along the Pacific Coast Highway northwest of Los Angeles that has already forced thousands of residents to flee the area jumped the roadway Friday morning, threatening parts of a premier U.S. naval installation.
Firefighters on the scene radioed that Naval Base Ventura County, which is backed up to the Pacific Ocean, should be advised that flames had leapt the iconic coastal highway that was the only barrier beween the fire and the facility....
Dr. Fields have been dearly correct about all he has estimated as the dangers to ignoring a warming planet. A planet exposed to anthropogenic pollution. I read Dr. Fields material, he has been exceptionally correct about everything. He sent out the warning in 2009 and now it is here to visit reality. No one listens. Same dynamics as with gun control, it doesn't serve the purpose of politicians to protect the country.

Tropical forests may dry out (click here) and become vulnerable to devastating wildfires as global warming accelerates over the coming decades, a senior scientist has warned.
Soaring greenhouse gas emissions, driven by a surge in coal use in countries such as China and India, are threatening temperature rises that will turn damp and humid forests into parched tinderboxes, said Dr Chris Field, co-chair of the UN's Nobel prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Higher temperatures could see wildfires raging through the tropics and a large scale melting of the Arctic tundra, releasing billions of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere that will accelerate warming even further, he said.
Field, director of global ecology at the Carnegie Institute, told the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Chicago at the weekend that the IPCC's last report on climate change in 2007 had substantially underestimated the severity of global warming over the rest of the century.
The report concluded that the Earth's temperature is likely to rise between 1.1C and 6.4C by 2100, depending on future global carbon emissions. "We now have data showing that from 2000 to 2007, greenhouse gas emissions increased far more rapidly than we expected, primarily because developing countries, like China and India, saw a huge upsurge in electric power generation, almost all of it based on coal," Field said. The next report, which Field will oversee, is due in 2014 and will now include future scenarios where global warming is far more serious than previous reports have suggested, he said....
