"Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif.,... called on President Biden to declare a "climate emergency" in response to the fires."

I'm curious. What is the difference in the actual effort/aid on the ground if President Biden doesn't declare the Maui wildfires a "climate emergency?" Does anyone out there know?

I'm sure the survivors whose lives have been upended would like to know that declaring their disaster a "climate emergency" has SOME meaning BESIDES their availability as political pawns.

Progressives will do or say anything to get their way, that's what I mean when I say they do not value truth.

Any time the far left can they blame climate change without ever actually looking at the facts.

It appears they feed off themselves. An example is when they don't allow power companies to properly brush areas along lines and then a fire starts. While this didn't happen in Hawaii it did happen in other area like California.

SFC (Join to see) - Man is actually responsible for most forest fires out west. Decades ago the forest service would burn off using a controlled fire the undergrowth etc, just like mother nature would do with wildfires. Then conservationist got involved and we stopped controlled burns. The dead trees and undergrowth now builds up and when we do have a fire ( most of them man started intentionally or unintentionally) the fires are so intense our fire fighters cannot control or handle them.

It's their own fault. Like Portland, NYC, DC, Seattle, LA, and their crime problems. Like the U.S. energy problems. Lawrence, KS and their homeless problem. Quit whining when it's your own fault for being left wing.

Policy matters. We always get what we vote for. People need to remember that.
