I have lived in California for 25 years, and this year we definitely had more fires and drought related issues than I have ever seen. People adapted in the past to climate change as the earth was still unsullied with pollution and the side products of our industralization. Regarding your last statement about putting housing in the middle of an ecosystem that is fire-driven - you MUST not live in California. Where would you expect most of the population of San Diego and Orange County to relocate to?

What are the costs to California of lowering greenhouse gasses? What are the projected decreases in risk from those expenses? Again, if they are like other studies I have seen, it is not worth the cost. People, as they have been doing well for 100,000 years, adapt as climate changes. To try to "stop" global warming is foolhardy, unless of course you love empowering big government. Speaking of fools, who would put housing developments in the middle of an ecosystem that is fire-driven? If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
