Rep. Devin Nunes: California Democrats Create Water Shortages, Brownouts, Wildfires and Blame ‘Global Warming’ “California is not out of water because of global warming,” Nunes stated. “These fires aren’t happening because of global warming, Your electricity price isn’t going up because of global warming and not [having] enough solar panels. These are bad policies.” "Nunes linked California’s wildfires to the state’s poor forest management policies grounded in ostensibly environmental concerns." “Why are the forests burning up?” he asked. “Well, you’re told in school — and you’re told by the mainstream media — you’re told it’s global warming. The world is ending. [Media show] a fire in the background and you think it must be global warming, la-dee-da, but it’s not. The timber is burning up because they ended the timber industry 20 years ago. If you don’t bring [fuelwood] out of the mountains, guess what? It burns, and that’s what we’re doing.” "Water shortages across California are also driven by leftist “environmental” politics, Nunes noted." “For going on 40 years now, there’s been an attack by the radical left on every industry in California,” he stated. “It started with agriculture [with] the radical left, the environmental greens going after our water supply, and essentially what they’ve done is they’ve run us out of out of water.” "Nunes warned of worsening economic damage across California due to the state’s increasingly onerous government." There is also a water crisis over in Hawaii as well. 🙁 Some are wondering if they are targeting and wanting to kill off our military and their families? :unsure: Crisis of astronomical proportions’ over Pearl Harbor contamination RT Dec 4, 2021 01:36 The US Navy has confirmed that the water used by military families near Hawaii’s Pearl Harbor is contaminated with “volatile petroleum products,” forcing a shutdown that may leave taps dry for over a week. Tests on the system that supplies drinking water to homes at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam showed “pretty conclusive indications that there are volatile petroleum products in the well,” Rear Admiral Blake Converse told reporters on Thursday, referring to the Red Hill well servicing hundreds of military families. The well has been shut down since Sunday and will remain closed as the Navy purges the dangerous chemicals from the system. On Friday, the Board of Water Supply also shut down the Halawa shaft, responsible for some 20% of the water supply to urban Honolulu, pointing out that both wells draw water from the same aquifer. Converse assured residents that the contamination was isolated and confined to the Red Hill well, claiming that tests “throughout the rest of the Navy water distribution system” had failed to find any traces of petroleum. The system’s 93,000 customers have been urged to avoid drinking the water as a precaution. However, there are mounting concerns that the tainted water could have already leaked to other city wells. On Tuesday, a University of Hawaii lab said it had discovered traces of a petroleum product in a sample collected from Red Hill Elementary School.

On Tuesday, a University of Hawaii lab said it had discovered traces of a petroleum product in a sample collected from Red Hill Elementary School. Military families reportedly began complaining of a gasoline or chemical smell in their drinking water after a November 20 fuel leak. It transpired that more than 14,000 gallons of a water-fuel mixture had leaked from an underground storage facility, but the Navy said at the time that the spill had been confined to a tunnel and hadn’t affected water supplies, including an aquifer below the storage tanks that supplies Oahu. The latest Navy statement followed comments at a congressional hearing earlier on Thursday by US Representative Kai Kahele (D-Hawaii). “The Navy is currently experiencing a crisis of astronomical proportions in Hawaii,” Kahele said. He said nearly 100,000 residents were without water because of the system shutdown, and many people and animals had been made sick by the contamination. Kahele also brought a water sample to the hearing. “I can tell you myself that if you smell this water, you would know that there is something wrong with [it],” he said. “There’s a petroleum product in this water.” More than 900 Navy and Army families reported strange odors in their water, or physical ailments, between the time of the fuel leak and Thursday’s announcement of testing results, the Associated Press reported. With supplies now offline for an estimated four to 10 days, the military has offered to help families to make a temporary move into hotels or new homes. The Navy is distributing bottled water, while the Marines will provide showering and laundering facilities, and dedicated medical clinics are also being set up. - Fair Use - Trouble in paradise! TR
