Climate experts hosted a media call Wednesday to discuss the tragedy of the devastating Maui fire—and how government’s negligence and obsession with the “climate change” hoax created a situation ripe for disaster.
The call featured Gregory Wrightstone of the CO2 Coalition, H. Sterling Burnett of the Heartland Institute’s Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy , and Trump transition team member Steve Milloy of JunkScience. They discussed dishonest media, government negligence, climate change obsessions, and the Lahaina fire. Despite 50 years of failed predictions, climate alarmists are more blinded than ever.
The experts agreed that government accountability, starting with Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, is necessary. Milloy recommended a congressional investigation. “They’re [the government] taking all this money from us [taxpayers], supposedly for climate, and building wind turbines and solar panels and EVs. Meanwhile, in Lahaina, no one spent a nickel getting anybody ready for a foreseeable disaster. And that is just unforgivable.” Burnett chimed in to note that Maui has been warned about the serious risk of wildfires for a decade, but was totally unprepared.
Burnett also talked about the weaponization of media to support climate hysteria. He said, “Within hours, you have the media dancing on the still-smoldering corpses of the people of Lahaina, blaming climate change.” For them, it’s a “knee-jerk reaction,” he said. The same rhetoric was spouted about Hurricane Hillary, which just brought bad weather to California. The media coverage is always exaggerative and based on highly selective data or pure ideology.
Preventive measures like thinning forests are ignored, exacerbating the risk of fires, Burnett continued. “That is not climate change, that is poor management,” he insisted.

Probably WEF again...
Yes
Climate fear = Libtardism
The Enviro-terrorists caused this mass death.
NO.
Lack of common sense and/or ability too use it are to blame.
no siren - because it usually was used for tsunami (any alert would have been better than none!)
no extra water - because equity concerns? It’s a fire, lives were at stake!
roads blocked by utility companies for wire situation created dead people due to traffic jams.
etc.
Climate will keep happening moment by moment. what we people do is such an insignificant percentage factor in the whole climate equation.
Democrat animals eating their own for some sort of convenience or something more sinnister.
All those buildings burning down are really going to put a dent in their goal of reaching carbon zero by 2050.
