Maui’s Wildfire Tragedy Caused By ‘Green’ Policies, Not Warming
As Congress returns to session, one topic I expect to be the subject of hearings and discussion is the wildfire tragedy in Maui. It is crucial that our lawmakers and fellow citizens know the truth about what happened, and why, so that they draw constructive lessons instead of destructive lessons. My team and I have spent a lot of time getting to the bottom of this story, and have discovered numerous errors in both mainstream and non-mainstream sources. Here are our findings, with supporting evidence.
Maui’s wildfire tragedy was caused by “green” policies, not warming.
The unnecessarily large wildfires in Maui were not caused by the slow warming of climate but by “green” policies that prevented proper wildfire management.
Don’t let the greens scapegoat fossil fuels.
How “green” policies caused the Maui tragedy
Failure to actively manage flammable grasses and instead letting them grow “naturally”
Spending money on expensive “green” energy and not on power-line maintenance
Deprioritizing water release in favor of “green” concerns
Anti-fossil-fuel politicians are blaming Maui’s tragic wildfire on climate change. But could the 2° F warming over 150 years, and any associated climate changes, make dangerous wildfires inevitable?
