Wall Street Journal editorial: LA wildfires caused by bad politics not climate change

The Wall Street Journal's editorial board has published an editorial calling the Los Angeles wildfires a result of bad politics from Democrat California politicians, not "climate change". The WSJ has slapped down the main excuse given by the failed politicians for their incompetence in preparation and response to the wildfires.

The editorial board denounced "the progressive line that climate change is responsible for every natural diasaster except perhaps earthquakes." adding that "in today's climate orthodoxy, bad weather is always man-made." The editorial used California charts going back 130 years to show alternating wet and dry periods, contrary to the theory of "climate change'. dec;laring "rather than blame the climate for wildfires, the obligation of public officials should be to prepare for them and when they inevitably occur, mitigate the damage."

Great editorial and spot on! The WSJ points out that the Democrat politicians are trying to deflect from their own piss-poor management and governance when they try to blame "climate change".

These weather conditions have existed forever. The Santa Ana winds existed when the Spanish colonists arrived in California in the 1500s and local Indians knew of them long before that. They are NOT 'climate change". The Spanish colonists gave them that name centuries ago. Ditto the El Nino / La Nina cycle that also played a big part in the weather conditions that caused the wildfires.

"Climate change" is nothing but a pile stinky pile of political BS.
