Moonbat Arrested for Starting Fire Blamed on Climate
When it comes to forest fires, moonbats prefer not to deal with immediate causes (e.g., poor forest management resulting from environmentalism), but with a root cause that theoretically can be resolved through liberal policies. We are told climate change can be arrested for the first time in the planet’s history by growing Big Government. As everyone who listens to the mainstream media knows, forest fires result from climate change — even if not directly:
Authorities busted a Democratic donor for allegedly starting a “ginormous inferno” in Yosemite National Park. Democratic politicians had insisted climate change was to blame for the blaze, which destroyed more than 100 homes and injured several firefighters in July 2022.
The aptly named Edward Fredrick Wackerman was arrested Friday. He ran up some impressive stats:
The arson suspect has donated $1,775 to Democratic candidates and committees since 2020, government records show, including a $1,000 donation to Tim Ryan’s failed U.S. Senate campaign in 2022 and $400 to the Lincoln Project, a disgraced liberal super PAC.
The so-called Oak Fire destroyed 127 homes and 66 outbuildings. Roughly 6,000 people were forced to evacuate as the inferno torched 30 square miles of land and smoke from the fire drifted more than 200 miles into parts of Nevada and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Arson may have been the immediate cause. But no doubt stress caused by climate change exacerbated Wackerman’s mental state.
Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) was among the Democrats who exploited the fire to demagogue about the global warming hoax:
Thank you to all the firefighters and first responders working tirelessly under difficult conditions to combat the #OakFire.
Worsening drought and severe weather will only continue to put lives and property at risk from wildfire if we don't take climate action NOW. https://t.co/TG2djAM0OF

Coordinated acts of arson are suspected in the Canadian forest fires that caused moonbats in the Northeast to panic over the smoke earlier this month. Climate change was of course blamed there too:
These Canadian wildfires are truly unprecedented, and climate change continues to make these disasters worse.
We passed the Inflation Reduction Act to fight climate change, and we must do more to speed our transition to cleaner energy and reduce carbon in the atmosphere.

Suppose leftists started the Canadian fires for the same reason they stage hate hoaxes — to “raise awareness” of a cherished nonexistent problem. Then climate change was responsible for those fires too.
