While California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass blame this week’s devastating wildfires on climate change or claim that they did all they could to prepare, the evidence tells a different story. Their focus on a woke, climate-driven agenda has come at the expense of practical, effective wildfire prevention measures. The result? Lives lost, homes destroyed, and a state left unprepared.
Mismanagement of Forests and Water Resources
Decades of forest mismanagement have created a dangerous tinderbox across California. Overgrown vegetation, deadwood, and excess fuel such as dried leaves and fallen branches have accumulated unchecked, turning forests into powder kegs.
Proactive measures like thinning trees, controlled burns, and vegetation management have been deprioritized due to excessive regulations and litigation driven by environmental groups.
