As fires wreak havoc in California, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., claimed in a post on X the catastrophe is “what a climate emergency looks like.”
In another tweet, he took aim at President-elect Trump, asserting the incoming president has been bought off by the oil industry.
“Trump has been bought for $1 billion by Big Oil. Just a payoff to kill the IRA and the Green New Deal. We know what will happen. More fires, more climate disasters, more death. The LA fires are preview of coming atrocities,” Markey declared in a post on X.
Markey, who claims there is a “climate crisis,” has also warned about the potential effects of artificial intelligence (AI).
He suggested rising use of AI could result in “doubling data center electricity demand by 2026,” “increased carbon emissions,” “water supply shortages” and “electronic waste.”
“We are already facing a climate crisis. We can’t let AI make it worse,” Markey warned.
Trump is slated to take office Jan. 20.
“In his first term, President Trump advanced conservation and environmental stewardship while promoting economic growth for families across the country,” incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
“America’s energy agenda under President Trump produced affordable, reliable energy for consumers along with stable, high-paying jobs for small businesses — all while dropping U.S. carbon emissions to their lowest level in 25 years. In his second term, President Trump will once again deliver clean air and water for American families while Making America Wealthy Again.”

The only “atrocities” coming are leftist/globalist scum and their anti-human, demonic agendas being sidelined and those who engaged in lawfare againt Christians, conservatives and their values and traditions being investigated - and hopefully charged - for everything including jaywalking and ripping tags off of mattresses.
So he’s absolutely paid off by big green, 100% incorrect (as we’ve seen factually from the past week) but as a good communist, he doubles down and says we must continue with the lysenkonism for the good of the party, comrade.
Perhaps to have enough electricity for themselves citizens might have to take out data centers.
Markey is 78 years old......
Pelosi can lend him her walker....until he gets one of his own.
"You might as well wipe Pacific Palisades off the map"
The utter mismanagement of our land, water, and electrical infrastructure on the part of one of our nation’s most liberal regimes proves that none of these so called climate change alarmists in power believe the scam either.
Because if they did, they would prepare better for Mother Nature to unleash her wrath instead of expecting her to “listen better” and obey…because, well. Solar panels. 🙄🙄🙄
(God is in control of His Creation and He will NOT be mocked!)
It’s scary looking at all that devastation
Prayers up
That nut is still around?
Hey Markey! STFU.
So there...
[Same tactic as calling for banning AR15’s when a pistol goes off.]
LOL. And there's that peaceful easy feeling He didn't take vengeance off the table as well ('vengeance is mine, etc.').
Let me summarize so you don’t have to read the article, “ me, me, me, bad man orange”…..
Ed Markey’s just a brain addled communist. Ignore everything he says.
What a MOROR!! AN EVIL MORON!
The actual ‘emergency’ has been ongoing for the past 30+ years; the tree huggers and the climate nazis all in a tizzy that prevented intelligent management of the forested areas of most states.
In CA, that, along with the winds and periodic droughts, created the conditions for the current catastrophe.
The current conflagration is a RESULT of the climate emergency.
No, it's what typical democrat leadership looks like.
And I'll bet every bit of it is intentional.
They could not have known what the consequences of their actions were and were probably hoping for such a scenario so they can get the land cheap and built their housing for illegals and *15 minute cities*.
Even *IF* climate (actually weather) were a factor, the lack of water and poor forest management were more than 90% of the problem. There is no such thing as *surplus* firefighting equipment when you live in wildfire country.
Articles like continue to prove liberalism is psychological disease. Maybe Trump can do a warp speed program to find a cure.
Likely.
I don’t doubt any speculation these days where democrats are involved.
They are pure evil.
The people who are responsible for this have no idea what’s coming for them on Judgment Day.
I think you hit something that could very well be true, regarding it happening 9 days from now.
