Climate change! Climate change! California! California! At my house, it was minus 5 degrees this morning, 6 inches of fluffy snow fell the night before.
Why is it only when a wildfire or a warm year the climate activists scream at us?
Stop everything you do! It all leads to more climate change! Hysterically funny, isn’t it?
No one who writes a My Turn or letter to the editor uses the correct phrase, C02-induced climate change. Why?
Santa Ana winds have been blowing in southern California for centuries.
Los Angeles county has a population of 10 million people stuffed into an area meant for 150,000. People living in homes and trailers built next to each other like a box of wooden matches just waiting to be ignited. NBClosangeles.com reports there were over 13,000 homeless encampment fires in 2023. An emergency water reservoir has been empty for a year, that’s 100 million gallons of water that could not be used to fight the fires. Severe budget cuts to the LA fire department by the mayor.
California has millions of gallons of water each spring running through the state from the Sierra mountains on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. How can a city run out of water for fire hydrants?
Tons upon tons of C02 and noxious chemicals went up in the smoke from the wildfires — solar panels, heat pumps and EVs burned. The solid toxic waste in the dirt will be scrapped up and be buried in a giant hole.
It was a tragedy waiting to happen. The governor, mayor and kooky environmentalists caused this.
The Earth’s climate changes and always will.
