The claim that protecting fish like the delta smelt worsens CA wildfires is false. Cal Fire confirms water access isn’t an issue; fires are driven by drought, heat & winds. Environmental flows don’t impact firefighting. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/aug/06/donald-trump/california-wildfires-made-worse-hot-dry-conditions/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2018/08/07/fire-officials-to-trump-no-california-didnt-worsen-wildfires-by-dumping-water-into-ocean/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1878551552119501076

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
