@shellenberger And even to the extent that climate change is a factor, our politicians’ job is still the same - prepare accordingly.

Some reporters and scientists are blaming climate change for the lack of rain in LA. It's ridiculous. There's no trend in annual rainfall from 1877 to 2024. We have wet years and dry years.

Climate change isn't responsible for the LA fires. Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are.

Climate change is causing the fires in L.A., says the media. But one of the government's top fire experts says, “I don't think these fires are the result of climate change." The media blame climate change to divert attention from the incompetence of the politicians they like.

The statement is part of a public discourse on climate change and its impact on natural disasters, specifically fires in Los Angeles. The conversation involves differing opinions on the role of climate change versus political responsibility in addressing these issues.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but could contribute to misinformation if not backed by scientific consensus. [-1]
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding or empathy, as it dismisses climate change as a factor without engaging with scientific evidence. [-1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in a form of critique but lacks constructive dialogue, as it attributes blame without offering solutions or acknowledging complexity. [-1]
