MACDONALD: It’s Canadian Smoke Season, and I Still Have My “Hantavirus Outbreak” Decorations Up

July 21, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Someone asked me about the weird light outside in the afternoon. It was yellow-orange, almost as weird as the light during a partial lunar eclipse. Wildfire smoke, I said. What’s the problem? They asked. Progressives, I reminded. Just like California, Canada has long been under Left-Wing rule. It’s a new problem created by an old … Read more

MACDONALD: Brush Fire Blame

May 5, 2026May 5, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Given the opportunity, a Proglodyte will lie about anything. Take Global warming. Everything is caused by it, relabeled as climate change to ensure the hymns matched the dogma. Heat, cold, rain, drought, sun, shade, storms, quiet, no snow, more snow, everything is the result of their sky god, while yours is just a fake thing … Read more

This Week On VDCTV [Link Fixed]

January 19, 2025January 18, 2025 VDCTV

This week, our news staff talks up the Vermont Legislature Week #1, Burlington Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak’s controversial gag order on the Burlington Police, and the State of Vermont’s efforts to protect Vermont from forest fires and the next big flood.

The Wild Truth About The California Wildfires

January 18, 2025 Hal Shurtleff

Practically every time a disaster strikes in the United States, the Corporate Media blames it on climate change. This short video from our friends at Gorilla Science refute the claim that climate change is behind the on-going California wildfires using data from the U.S. Government: We’d like to thank Hal Shurtleff for the content. As a … Read more

Trees Fall & Lines “Slap” in California

January 18, 2025January 16, 2025 Niko Roswell

The fires in California are not caused by wind. The fires needed a spark. The world is watching as: “the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet.” Gov. Newsom …fights to defeat the California fires, which some say were likely caused by “line slapping” or neglected utilities. I am inclined to question the oversight of California’s public utilities … Read more

The Costs To “Save The Planet”

January 14, 2025 Burt Janz

And now comes the last two stages of an avoidable political catastrophe: the “search for the guilty parties” and “the reward of non-contributors.” (Adopted from the six stages of an engineering project – it’s on the web.) We don’t know how the fires started. It could have been lightning: it’s been dry in California lately. … Read more

NOLA Police Chief Prolly Happy LA Has An Incompetent Mayor and Fire Chief

January 12, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Anne Kirkpatrick got the ass end of the cybersphere handed to her on New Year’s Day and for several days following it. She looked like another clueless diversity hire, a problem she failed to resolve – much like Plan B (Kamal Harris) – by opening her mouth and speaking. People died, and her response didn’t … Read more

The California Inferno Is A Tale Of Two Cities

January 9, 2025 Ray Cardello

The two sides of this latest American disaster are amazing when taken separately, and that is difficult to do with such devastation. California is such a beautiful state and probably the most diverse and rich in natural offerings, including the ocean, mountains, rich agricultural regions, and vineyards. Still, when mother nature or man-made error occurs, … Read more

“Experts” Admit CO2 Greens The Earth … But That’s Bad!

May 30, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The Climate Cult’s Green Meanines have been blaming increased atmospheric CO2 for everything, including wildfires—and there is (sort of, kind of) a connection. Arsonists are starting fires when none begin on their own, and then the media and activists blame that on rising CO2.

It’s Forest Fire Season Already And I Still Have My Mud Season Decorations Up

May 1, 2024May 1, 2024 Steve MacDonald

It was inevitable. My yard is still damp with March and April showers (and muddy in places), and the Fire department says the Fire Danger is High. Okay. We’ve also got reports of wildfires in Canada (are the arsonists starting early this year?), and me with my mud season decorations still up. What the heck!

They Said “Global Warming” Will Affect Wildfires – 2023 Had Fewest Acres Burned This Century

December 31, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The year 2023 had so much potential. The usual suspects were screaming the hottest hotness ever. All that global boiling. The dry grass out west from a year with record snowfalls. Drought narratives meet climate narratives to spark a flame that rages (like wildfire) nationwide, but 2023 saw the lowest burn average in 25 years.

Global Warming Leads to Lowest Wildfire Burn Acerage This Century … or Something

November 26, 2023November 25, 2023 Steve MacDonald

I’m back with more high-quality left-wing narratives debunking news from the global warming desk. Dateline: Wildfires. If you recall, in the spring of 2023, it seemed like wildfires would be the story of the year, as if that’s not true every year.

Louisiana’s Largest Wildfire™ (ever) Was Man-Made, as in Arson

September 12, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The leading cause of wildfires™ is arson, which means they are man-made and even (technically) a result of man-made “warming,” but not in the way the Climate Cult would have you believe. An Arsonist can still drive his EV past the wind farm to set the woods aflame.

Are They Really “Wildfires” if You Arrested 79 Arsonists for Starting Them?

August 30, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The number of outdoor out-of-control fires set by arsonists worldwide could lead you to believe that there was a coordinated global eco-terrorist strategy to forcefully advance a false agenda about climate change. Man-made, sure, by arsonists.

Maui “Wildfire” Likely Caused by Hawaii Electric/Downed Powerlines

August 17, 2023August 17, 2023 Steve MacDonald

I’m not sure this qualifies as man-made in the religious sense of climate change, but men made the powerlines that some locals captured on video—sparking, popping, followed by fire, which the high winds then took for a devastating ride.

Suspected Arsonist Caught Starting Fires in Italy and Sicily

July 31, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Parallel to the hottest heated hotness ever narrative are the ‘wildfires’ raging across the landscapes of countries where it is also hot. But much like many of the fires blamed on global warming, the culprit – while human influence – is arsonists.

Yeah, So … About Those Wildfires (Revisited)

April 29, 2024June 14, 2023 Steve MacDonald

In May 2021, we reported on how the Biden administration scrubbed 57 years of forest fire data. Poof, gone. A year later, we added their disappearing another document that showed the dramatic decrease in fires/lost average. Poof, gone.

Satellite Images Show Scores of Forest Fires Starting in Quebec – At the Same Damn Time

June 9, 2023June 9, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Yesterday I wrote about the impossible odds that all these fires in Canada were wild, implicating a human hand. My first impulse was eco-terrorists. They love to create catastrophes and blame Climate Change. Man-made by their hand, not your lifestyle.

They Are Not “Wildfires” (in Canada) If Eco-Terrorists Set Them

June 8, 2023June 8, 2023 Steve MacDonald

As Americans deal with air quality issues from Canadian forest fires, the US media blames big oil and modernity’s sins. The actual cause is a bit less complex. Canadian authorities say arsonists deliberately started these fires.

Irony Alert: All that Rain And Cold Out West Increases The Chance of Wildfires

April 29, 2023 Steve MacDonald

In what can be nothing if not proof that global warming causes cooling causes wildfires, the American West is on high alert as winter gives way to spring and summer, and all that moisture creates a bounty of flammable grasses.
