  1. Global warming is due to unprecedented population explosion of Africa, middleeast, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh . It woke white people don’t want to talk about it !

  2. God,Protect those who battle the flames, Sanctify their services and send them your spirit.

  3. FFS, You smokers stop throwing your burning cigarette into the plants, its not that hard to put it out first.

  4. Never heard of a fire burning though a desert before.
    Thank goodness Climate Change isn't real!

  5. Okay. I was surprised. I did not know a desert could burn. 🤷‍♀️ I (obviously) did not consider so much scrub and vegetation. 🤦‍♀️

  6. 🙏Matthew 24:3-26 KJV
    3 And as he (Jesus) sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

    4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

    5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

    6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

    7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

    8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
    Jesus is appearing soon for the Church! Titus 2:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:9, Revelation 3:10, Romans 5:9 etc.❤

  7. I live in Las Vegas and the smoke is messing with my eyes

  8. Glad I live in Oakland well weather wise at least it's cloudy outside right now the sun comes put in a bit

  9. I read fire started on private land, definitely would charge that homeowner

  10. What do you think? Its missing the piles of people that deserve to be in it!!

  11. NOOOOOOOOOO! Not the desert!!!!!
    Oh wait, it’s the desert. Zero f-cks given. And what kind of people chose to live there anyway?

  12. Geeze.. Mohave desert SO BEAUTIFUL!! SuchaA shame…

  13. Wildfires happen each and every year.

    Where are the pre-dug swales? Where are the goats eating and clearing brush?

  14. Again thanks to the corrupt failed Democrat controlled Charcoal State of California!

  15. Climate change is getting worse.
    Buckle up.

  16. Conservatives be like: FAKE NEWZ! Climate change ain't real.

  17. As we witness the current wildfires devastating different parts of the world, it serves as a stark reminder of the fulfillment of the prophecies mentioned in the Bible about the [last days]. Jesus himself warned that in the time leading to the conclusion of this wicked system, there would be distress on the earth, including fires and natural disasters. (Luke 21:10-11) These events highlight the growing darkness and the increasing intensity of the world's troubles as we draw closer to the end. However, it's essential to stay strong in our faith, knowing that [Jehovah's promises] remain sure, and He will ultimately bring an end to all suffering and replace this corrupt system with His righteous Kingdom.

  18. Let’s figure out how this is Donald Trump’s fault!!!

  19. Gettin real tired of the Fire Nation, and their BS.

  26. Prayers for the families and the victims

  27. To those unable-to-grasp-science naysayers yet spew ignorant 💩 on social media: flock y’all! 🔥🌎🎻🔥

  28. Calm down people It aways Wildfires in the desert

  29. Look on the bright side, there wasn't much there to begin with. – Ralph Ciferreto

  34. We have nothing other than Republican deniers following paid off Republican paid off puppets to blame. It's all going to come to haunt them politically. And devastate the rest of us. They should be brought to criminal trial to face charges knowing this would happen. And, go to prison. The facts were layed out before them after all.
