Instead of cleaning the forest floors, removing dead trees, capturing rain runoff, and making sure California has water in the fire hydrants, Democrat politicians will instead deflect responsibly and blame "climate change."

This magical blame shifting allows them to avoid accountability for their incompetence and mismanagement while wielding tyrannical power over voters, harassing them for cooking on gas stoves, forcing them to drive EVs, and and charging them a carbon tax for simply living.

Human lives are not improved, they are destroyed, cities lie in actual rubble, and taxpayers and insurance policy holders around the country are on the hook to clean up their failed, far-left dystopian disaster.
