1. It’s worth noting that the [connection between rising temperature and rising wildfire risk is very well established](https://www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfire/wildfire-climate-connection)

2. We’re cooked

3. He can reject the link all he wants. It doesn’t matter at this point. Physics will win and humans will suffer.

4. [removed]

5. “Well, if we get rid of all the forests and mine the land for precious metals and drill it for oil, then there wouldn’t be any forrest fires in the first place” – Republicans.

6. This is news?

7. Well it can’t be climate change AND the dastardly democrats fault. Why live in reality when right wing fantasy is so much more profitable.

8. The purpose of the Energy Dept is to maintain the US arsenal of nuclear weapons. They’re going to pick a science denier for that job, are they? Fun times!

9. Not a surprise. Trump’s last guy said similar things and ordered a review of the electric grid with a particular consideration to coal power. Nothing substantial came of it.
   Green energy is just more profitable then coal and that is not something that can be litigated away. It can be politicized for propaganda purposes though.

10. Yes. Denying problems solves them. We stopped testing for COVID and it went away! /s

11. Clearly not climate change. But the Dems and dei caused this. (/s)
