Sen. Ed Markey warns that California fires are a glimpse into future disasters
California: As wildfires rage across the state, Senator Ed Markey is sounding the alarm. He took to social media to say these fires are a clear sign of a climate emergency.
Markey didn’t hold back when he called out President Trump, claiming he’s been bought off by the oil industry. He believes this will lead to more disasters.
In his words, “Trump has been bought for $1 billion by Big Oil.” He’s worried that without action, we’ll see even more fires and climate-related issues.
Markey also pointed out that we’re facing a climate crisis and raised concerns about artificial intelligence. He thinks AI could double the electricity demand from data centers by 2026.
He warned that this could lead to higher carbon emissions and even water shortages. “We can’t let AI make it worse,” he said, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
As Trump prepares to take office, his team is touting his past efforts in conservation and energy. They claim he’s helped reduce carbon emissions while boosting the economy.
Markey’s comments highlight a growing concern about the intersection of climate change and technology. It’s a conversation that’s becoming more critical every day.
