Attempts to blame “climate change” for California's devastating wildfires are a departure from the real culprit: the government. wall street journal the editorial board wrote on Monday.
The climate left is “desperate to shift the conversation away from the failures of state and local governments to suppress the fires associated with the Santa Ana winds,” WSJ editors said. Note.
The editorial first refutes the ridiculous claim that climate change has somehow caused the conflagrations, and second, it goes on to discuss how state and local governments, especially Gov. Gavin Newsom, can help protect Californians from wildfires. It shows that they have abandoned their role.

“Rather than blaming climate for wildfires, the duty of public officials should be to prepare for wildfires and reduce their damage when they inevitably occur,” they suggest.
Of course, this is exactly what California's political leaders have failed to do, and seem determined to do.
Gavin Newsom's new budget “increases spending on Medicaid, green energy and teacher union incentives while neglecting wildfire prevention,” the essay says.

Meanwhile, the editors argue that none of the proposed new spending would “mitigate future fires, droughts, or floods or impact global temperatures.”
“Despite fervently believing that climate change will have catastrophic consequences, California Democrats consistently underinvest in water storage and land management,” they argue.
And when fires, water shortages, and floods inevitably occur, “Democrats will blame climate change as if there's nothing we can do about it,” he wrote, “and what the nation really needs.” concludes that it is a “political climate change.”
