‘Big oil’s negligence’: LA residents call on fossil fuel industry to pay for wildfire damages
Story by Dharna Noor • 11h

As Los Angeles’s deadly wildfires continue to burn, a group of survivors is taking aim at the industry most responsible for fueling climate disasters: fossil fuels.

Residents impacted by the blazes lamented during a Thursday conference call losing their homes and communities and called for litigation and policies that could force big oil to pay for the damages. In the coming days, lawmakers will introduce legislation with that aim in mind.
 
“It is hard to properly express how much was lost,” said Danielle Havanas, whose home was destroyed by the Palisades fire last week. “How do you communicate the value of your deceased mom’s journal from 1981 when she was pregnant with you?”

Scientists are still working to determine the degree to which the climate crisis exacerbated the ongoing Los Angeles fires, but existing research makes clear that global warming creates the conditions for more severe and frequent fires. And UCLA climate scientists this week determined that the climate crisis was likely responsible for a quarter of the dryness that fueled the fires’ rapid spread.

The next time there is major flooding, will they demand the Weather Channel pay for the damage because they didn't stop the rain? *****rollingeyes*****

These morons, even those who lost homes in the fires, need to be counter-sued into living beneath freeways for this idiocy if their lawsuit is not laughed out of court. I'm not intentionally cruel, but how can any California resident not know that wildfires and Santa Ana winds have been a thing in SoCal for millennia?

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

The best thing any energy company can do in California is to leave.

Deprive them of their Global Climate Change boogeymen so they have to face themselves and their stupidity in the mirror.

But those type of people don't learn.  Leave them to their fate.
