by Mia Cathell Jan 17, 2025
Climate alarmist Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) made a series of deranged climate change claims about the California wildfires during Thursday’s confirmation hearing of Lee Zeldin, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator. [emphasis, links added]
Markey, co-author of AOC’s far-left Green New Deal, suggested that climate change is the reason why wildfires erupted in Los Angeles and hurricanes had ravaged the Southeast in September.
“Do you see the fires in L.A. right now? Did you see the storms ripple through Georgia and North Carolina? The threat of climate change hasn’t gone away!” Markey said as Zeldin appeared before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.
Markey, a senior Democrat on the congressional committee, later asked Zeldin whether he believes Americans facing such crises are in any danger.
“Are they in danger? Absolutely, for people having their homes burned down,” Zeldin replied.
