WSJ Slams California’s Climate Change Scapegoating, Identifies Real Culprits
by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. Jan 15, 2025
Attempts to pin the catastrophic California wildfires on the bogeyman of “climate change” are a deflection from the real culprits, the Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote Monday. [emphasis, links added]
The climate left is desperately trying to “change the subject from the failure of the state and local government to contain the fires that often accompany Santa Ana winds,” the WSJ editors note.
The op-ed first dismantles the ridiculous claim that climate change somehow caused the conflagration and then shows how state and local governments, and Gov. Gavin Newsom in particular, have abdicated their important role of protecting California residents from wildfire.
For eco-lefties, “climate change explains wet and dry seasons, which follows the progressive line that climate change is responsible for every natural disaster except for perhaps earthquakes,” the essay observes. “In today’s climate orthodoxy, bad weather is always man-made.”
