Biden may yet run for president and his opponent had only 49.9% in a recent popularity score card.  Musk's presidency had a   difficult start and may deteriorate.

Hey, old boy, which official has refused to travel to California to hold a hose, worried that it might mess up their hair and make-up?

Guess who?

But it is not unprecedented.

"Southern California is experiencing its most devastating winter fires in more than four decades"

Then there is the changing vegetation.

"An invasive grass species has sparked the interest of researchers studying the ecology of wildfires in the western United States. Cheatgrass, a long-stemmed plant native to Europe and southwestern Asia that was introduced by settlers in the 1800s, is now common in Nevada, Utah, Colorado, California, and Oregon. By comparing satellite images of cheatgrass to fire activity in the same area, scientists have now shown that the grass is involved in a disproportionate number of fires in these regions, and those fires were among the largest. Although cheatgrass makes up only 6% of the area's vegetation, it has been involved in 39 of the 50 largest fires in the last decade, and has burned twice as much as any other plant species, the team reports this week in Global Change Biology. "

It is a 2012 article. But the cheat grass is still there.

40 years. Worst fire. AGW and rising temps. Oh yes, that's it.
And the cheat grass is not growing on Malibu. Too windy.

Citation? You know Malibu is more than just a beach?

Come come, Chimera, it's not just about the wind and grass, dear. There are a range of intersectional factors at play here.

As Lee points out, there's the tranny firepersons - refusing to hold a hose in case they break a nail.

There's the city's waterways and reservoirs - failed by the Fire Department, who forgot to make it rain.

There's the Fire Department's budget - secretly increased it by $53 mil, but somehow cut (so unfair).

And there's the unions - actually, Lee won't say what they've done, but it can't be good.

But whatever you do, don't mention AGW and rising temperatures. Lee has a theory on that too.

Temperature is subjective. Some say it's hot, some say cold, who can tell?

As you can see, it's complicated. Blaming wind and grass is a gross over-simplification.

I blame the leftards.

You?
