California’s wildfires highlight Trump’s ongoing denial of climate change’s impact

Growing up in Southern California, I remember the fires well. They’ve always been a part of life here, but things have changed. Now, California has way more fire days than it did decades ago. It’s not just a summer issue anymore; it’s a year-round problem.
The main culprit? Climate change. It’s causing droughts and creating conditions that make fires more likely. You’d think that would be enough to get everyone on board to tackle the issue, especially in a state as important as California.
But instead of addressing the problem, Trump is pushing for more fossil fuels and ignoring the science. It’s like a driver who just crashed their car, but instead of stopping, they hit the gas.
The Biden administration has been working on solutions, investing in renewable energy and electric vehicles. But if we go back to old ways, we’ll only make things worse.
It’s hard to imagine Trump changing his tune, but sometimes people do come around. Maybe some Republican leaders will realize the importance of acting on climate change for future generations.
In the end, the wildfires remind us that climate change is a huge issue that affects everything from health to the economy. Ignoring it puts us all at risk, and we need to face it head-on.
