Fossil fuel use and oil industry dominance of political policy are two key ingredients no mass media dares to highlight.

And climate change. It is not a coincidence that there are extreme weather events happening every week across the country and the world.

livviesjam.bsky.social•51 days ago

And what is the cause of this severely parched vegetation, NYT? 🤔

hamptonstevens.bsky.social•51 days ago

So the climate is changing?

pineapplepizza123.bsky.social•51 days ago

this was predicted to happen but you thought reporting on biden being old was more important, looks like you guys are idiot scum.

Most of southern California is dry chaparral. Great for growing oranges if you can find enough water. Else, it's lizard country.

Snow in the high mountains does not reach the lower mountains around Los Angeles. 400 sq miles of concrete doesn't help soften the harsh realities of climate change.

Feel for the people affected and also the animals

Americans were just leveraged by Dems in order to get a fat pay off to NOT object to Trump under 14.3 Wake up ! Kamala SOLD US OUT

Climate change and Arson, the last fires that broke out some psycho started them

damianups.bsky.social•51 days ago

Well you better get used to it, cuz that's the new normal for the US, most of you seem to think that climate change is only going to happen elsewhere, well it's not!

And why is the vegetation so dry? Maybe because of climate change and natural water shortages?🤔

toninparsons.bsky.social•51 days ago

Climate change. It’s climate change.

You were so tantalizingly close to mentioning global warming or climate change as a likely contributor to the” moisture-starved vegetation and strong winds” and yet you astoundingly managed to avoid the words altogether. Why?

This shouldn’t be that hard for reporters. https://www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfire/wildfire-climate-connection

This Vox story, for instance, has a very good section on the role of climate change and “weather whiplash” in fueling these fires.

Almost every home in this climate from a native dwelling to modern Mexican homes have very little flammable wood as a primary structure. Our codes have been bought and paid for by global construction industries for a generation. And insurance is also to blame. - Architect ($@&$:;:/)

Not mentioning human induced global warming / climate change when discussing a large wildfire in the northern emisphere in JANUARY is outrageous !

Shame on you !

I still haven’t read any article that states what started any of the six fires in LA area.

thebeardofdeath.bsky.social•51 days ago

Interesting that you carefully chose not to use the words “climate change”. What kind of good journalism tiptoes around scientific fact?

artshealinghearts.bsky.social•51 days ago

And who did America just put in charge? CLIMATE CRISIS DENIERS! THEIR SLOGAN "DRILL BABY DRILL!" AMERICA JUST F*CKED THE WORLD! THANK THE SELF PROCLAIMED "CHRISTIAN" CULT MAGA & MUSKrat!

nkde1.bsky.social•51 days ago

Ah don’t overestimate your role. Why you government is destroying the rest of us are fighting for a better world. Most of the rest of the world understand the dramatic meaning of climate change and work against it. Just vote better next time!

Elon Musk told me it was because of DEI hires.

neiljrm.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yes looked in there and it's appalling that at this time he and his type seek to play politics. Immoral people

commonsensesoln.bsky.social•51 days ago

If it's not one thing, it's another. You got wildfires, they got hurricanes, and we got tornadoes. Not to mention, half the country has snow and ice. Sheeez.
