Fed Scientist Rejects ‘Climate Change’ as Fueling L.A. Fires, as Arson Reports Surface

Democrats, especially those who want to disclaim responsibility for catastrophic Dem mismanagement, are screeching that the Los Angeles fires are a result of “climate change.” A federal scientist who has spent decades studying such matters rejects the politicized hypothesis.
There is no climate crisis, and climate alarmists have not been right in one single major prediction in over half a century, so it is always wise to take assertions of climate change-fueled disaster with caution. Now, Jon Keeley, U.S. Geological Survey scientist, has told Public, “I don't think these fires are the result of climate change.
...
We’ve looked at the history of climate and fire throughout the whole state, and through much of the state, particularly the western half of the state, we don’t see any relationship between past climates and the amount of area burned in any given year.” California is not having extreme or even very unusual weather, no matter what media talking heads say.
...
at least one homeless man was caught by concerned citizens who saw him lighting fires in Los Angeles. The UK Daily Mail reported that two men were caught on camera lighting a gasoline fire just before the deadly Palisades fire burst out. Is arson causing and/or fueling the fiery inferno engulfing L.A.? Unfortunately, the police seem highly apathetic about charging the suspects.
...
Horrific Democrat policies — including failure to build new water storage infrastructure, DEI hiring policies, refusal to clear out brush, slashing the firefighting budget, and dumping millions of gallons of water into the ocean to save effectively extinct fish — are to blame, not “climate change.” Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are the culprits, not your SUV and your gas stove.
And, of course, it seems that arson is at least partially responsible too.

I'm surprised they didn't say:
Fire is orange. Orange man bad.

The arsonists can claim they were thrown into anxiety attacks by climate change and didn’t know what they were doing when they set fires.
Or they burned down the trees and houses in order to save them from climate change disaster when Trump comes in.

Screw climate change.
They waited too long for the ATF to start looking for the arsonists.
