CALIFORNIA/NATURAL DISASTERS: “I just left, as you know, California, I met with a governor and… I said, you’ve got to — you’ve got to manage this, it’s a management thing. He said, no, it’s global warming. And I said, when the leaves build up, and you have a floor of leaves, and the trees fall down, and you don’t remove them because the environmentalists don’t want you to touch the tree, within 18 months that tree gets to be like a matchstick, it gets to be unbelievably flammable…

You can’t have leaves that are so dry — somebody takes a cigarette, they throw it in, that’s the end of 400,000 acres. And it costs billions of dollars, and we want to help them. But they get really angry about it after a while, and they don’t want to hear about it, they don’t want to talk about management.”
