The city is burning because for decades the Republican Party has been wined, dined & pocketlined by big oil to call climate change a hoax and to avoid passing ANY climate change legislation. If the Republicans continue on this course ignoring the connection between the growing frequency of natural disasters and climate change, the massive wildfires and other extreme natural disasters will get more severe and more frequent. Sure we can mitigate the effects and increase budgets and rake leaves etc..but those are only temporary fixes. The worst is yet to come if the right continues to ignore the Climate Crisis as the most pressing issue facing us today.
