The Number 1 cause of the 2025 LA Fires was the "Blocking High Pressure System" ... aka "a high pressure ridge" ... in the Pacific Ocean, off of the California coastline. Such a thing always comes with La Nina, along with a "variable Pacific Jet Stream" that does not travel through Southern California.
And of course, the Equatorial & Trade Wind ocean currents travel westward, during La Nina. This results in a dry Arizona & Texas and a moist Indonesia & Australia. In contrast, when El Nino is predominate, those ocean currents travel eastward, thereby making America warmer than usual.
High Pressure in atmospheric science always means "dry." So, Southern California has been receiving perpetual dry air from the La Nina "high pressure ridge," amidst forests that were not cleared of their dead & dried timber. Such timber is a very large matchbook, per timber piece. Such timber, in large quantities, guarantees a tragic spread of fire. Dry timber is fuel, and it ignited in January 2025, in the LA area.
Now, the Santa Ana Winds are also dry air winds. They are the result of an air mass completing its "Orographic Lifting" up a "windward" mountain side. This means that such an air mass cooled during its rise, and then created clouds, and finally rained throughout its rise up the mountain side.
At the top of the mountain, only dry air remains in that air mass. So, you get dry air from the Pacific Ocean's "high pressure ridge," along with very dry Santa Ana air, from the mountain tops of California. This results in wildfires, if dry timber is in the path of the Santa Ana winds. Incidentally, Chinook Winds, Foehn Winds, and Santa Ana Winds are the same thing.
All in all, if you are going to be governed by clueless government officials who refuse to allow for the clearance of dead & dry wood, and if you are living between a Blocking High and the Santa Ana Winds, then expect everything flammable to go up into flames until the flames reach the shoreline.
The Hyped-up Exaggerations of LA 2025
Newscasts already used "record breaking" in the reports of the 2025 LA fires. This was done to deceive you into thinking that this is a new phenomenon that never happened previously and which is a sign of a Climate Change Crisis by which you must surrender your freedom to Al Gore, Michael Mann, Bill Nye, and the mainstream media. So, if you hear or read anyone claim that January 2025 had the "all-time" record breaking 1] wind and/or 2] burned acreage and/or 3] structures damaged and/or 4] financial costs during Biden Era Inflation, then respond with this:
"Stop right here. There were many worse fires long ago, when the atmospheric Co2 Count was much lower than today. Plus, the satellite era is relatively new. Therefore, there were hundreds of years of Western American fires not reported. This means that no one has the data to know what the record is on anything involving Western wildfires."
So too is this the case with hurricanes. Numerous hurricanes throughout hundreds of years of human civilization were not recorded. There were no satellites available during those eras of time. So, curb it when you get the urge to say "the all-time record." You have no idea what the all-time record is, in any natural disaster category, when it comes to America. America used to be called, the New World.
Numerous fires throughout history were far worse than the January 2025 LA Fires
The 2025 LA Fires consumed 41,000 acres of real estate. The Peshtigo/Michigan Fires of 1871 incinerated 2.5 million acres. The Great Fire of 1910 consumed 3 million acres in Montana, Idaho, and Washington State. And the list of greater fires goes on ... and on ... and on some more.
a] The Peshtigo Fire of October 1871 consumed 1.2 MILLION acres of Wisconsin land. b] At the same time, the Great Chicago Fire and the Great Michigan Fire burned 1.3 million acres. Incidentally, the Great Chicago Fire only consumed 2,112 acres of land. After all, there is a massive lake at Chicago's border.
c] Canada's Great Fire of 1919 consumed 5 million acres in Alberta & Saskatchewan. This fire was 122 times LARGER than the LA Fires of 2025. d] Then, in 1950, the Chinchaga Fire of British Columbia & Alberta consumed 4.2 million acres of land and created a unique smoke pall that colored the Sun lavender and violet.
e] The 1825 Miramichi Fire in New Brunswick put 3 million Canadian acres out of commission. The CO2 count at the time was a mere 284 ppm. Well, according to the Al Gore Theory of Climate, no major fire eruption should have occurred during a time of low CO2. Yet, the Miramichi Fire of 1825 was 73 times LARGER than were the 2025 LA Fires.
f] In August of 1989, 1,147 wildfires ignited in Manitoba, burning 1.3 million acres. g] Two years prior, in Daxing'anling ... northeastern China ... 2.5 million acres were incinerated within one month's time. It is known as the 1987 Black Dragon Fire.
h] The Siberian Taiga Fires of 2003 turned 55 million acres into charred remains. i] The 1865 Silverton Fire of Oregon erased 1.5 million acres of forest. j] The Adirondack Forest Fire of 1903 charred over 470,000 acres of New York vegetation within a six-week period.
k] In 1889, 300,000 acres burned in California's Santiago County Fire. l] Five years prior, in Minnesota, the Great Hinckley Fire burned 160,000 acres and took at least 418 lives, along with 12 towns.
m] The Great Porcupine Fire of 1911 incinerated at least 500,000 acres, in Ontario. n] In 1916, there was the Great Matheson Fire that incinerated 490,000 acres of Canadian land. o] Then, the Timiskaming District of Ontario saw 415,000 more acres of land incinerated, in 1922.
p] Eventually came 1923, when the Giant Berkeley fire destroyed 50 city blocks, as well as 624 buildings, in California. Deja Vu, America. "It" already has happened before, in the San Francisco area, 101 years prior. 2025 was a Deja vu of 1923.
q] In 1933, the Tillamook Burn consumed 350,000 acres, in Oregon. r] Eventually came April 1963, when 183,000 acres and 400 buildings were incinerated in New Jersey, during the Black Saturday Fire.
s] And as far as goes the Black Friday Fire, it was actually the 1939 Black Friday Bushfire, in Southeastern Australia. It consumed 5 million acres of drought-ridden land. t] Eventually came 1970, when 175,425 acres were burned in San Diego County and the Laguna Mountains. That 1970 fire was four times LARGER than the 2025 LA Fire. Yet, the 1970 CO2 Count was only 327 ppm, compared to the 425 ppm of late 2024.
In addition, there were numerous major city fires throughout history, as well. This brings us to a question: What record was broken in the 2025 LA Fires? Compared to the true record-breaking fires, the LA fires of 2025 are chump change. Hello? Has anyone been home, in government & in news reporting, for the past four years?
You must stop marketing terror & fear, in claiming the existence of a never-before-seen Climate Crisis. The past five years had no weather event worse than those that transpired previously, in decades and centuries past.
Quit using the phrase "record breaking.' After all, Climate involves average & typical weather. NOT any once in a lifetime broken record.
None the less, the LA Fires were not a once in a lifetime event. They were a smaller version of what has been happening, since 1871. The 2025 LA Fires were actually less tragic, less in intensity, and less in space-consumed than dozens and dozens of other fires. Quit scaring school children and dimwitted middle-aged women who believe that CNN is the Voice of God.
Below: It's information which was hidden by the Biden Administration. It's the amount of acreage burned throughout the United States in wildfires, per year, starting with 1916.
Remember one thing. The reports of massive forest fires are in the newspapers of decades past. Thus, you lie if you say that those massive & frequent fires never happened. Moreover, mankind did NOT have the technology to put out the late 19th & early 20th Century wildfires. Thus, such fires easily became massive ones, especially during the drought-ridden 1930s. And concerning this, keep in mind that NASA officially stated that the greatest drought year in the past 1,000 years was 1934.
Plus, the American West didn't have the population needed to do the fire-fighting work in the 1920s & '30s. And as far as went the early 1940s, the American male population was literally fighting on THREE war fronts, while many women were providing logistical help and the production of battle ordnance. Thus, in 1943, while WWII was at its height, the US launched the Smokey the Bear Campaign.
The presence of the Smokey the Bear ads means that, even in the early 1940s, forest fires were a great problem in the United States. Therefore, the newspapers and magazines of decades past show that the chart below is factual. There was an outrageously large amount of timber and brush burned throughout America so much so that nothing today compares. This includes the LA Fires which easily could have been prevented, if only Californians would vote for people of common sense & natural instinct.
None the less, the graph below is a Pre-Biden United States government product. It is NOT the product of MAGA hat-wearing gun-toters in Texas or Alabama. Even at that, 77.3 million voters were not merely MAGA hat-wearing hillbillies from the boonies. City Slickers & Suburbanites voted for Trump, too.
More importantly, millions of American rural folk know how to read & write, as well as perform work requiring mechanical aptitude and the reading of technical manuals. Those people have to know how to read gages/gauges, and those gauge readers are more valuable than arrogant Humanities Dept profs whose topics are mostly subjective or subjunctive.
It's more important to master a CDL exam than a Shakespeare exam. And this statement is coming from a guy who does have literature sitting on a Harvard University library bookshelf, a Northwestern Univ library bookshelf, etc, as well as having literature in anthologies which also contain the works of national book award winners, a Pulitzer Prize winner, a Walt Whitman Award winner, etc.
It's the network media personnel who have shown themselves to have the "lower-than-expected" intelligences. After all, Wolf Blitzer made an embarrassment of himself on Celebrity Jeopardy. And he wasn't the only newscaster to do so.
