Thanks for this. It seems like an urgent problem for humanity to figure out is how to make a developmental disease (climate change, microplastics, etc.) feel like an acute one, so we work to actually do something about it.
So … Newsom is responsible for wildfires … then by extension DeSantis is responsible for 230 Florida hurricane Helene deaths … then DeSantis is responsible for 12,165 Covid deaths … then Trump is responsible for 407,000 Covid deaths … you have to be careful when you point fingers
This is a great read! Let the blame game, pointing fingers begin! It always happens when you have catastrophes like the ones on Maui, and California. Look who to blame not always is it one person or one business. It’s things that have been happening over decades. Climate change has been happening for years and decades oil and gas companies deny this although in the board room and private offices they now it. Change can only happen if we the people say we have had enough. We know that we can power our homes and cars with solar. It’s on us the people to force change! Just my opinion.
Natural gas companies financed housing for rich people? LA was settled in 1921? Some explanation needed. Also, PG&E doesn't operate natural gas infrastructure in Southern California, Southern California Gas Company does.
1 - Natural gas companies made lots of money and their executives & well-paid employees built houses in the area.
2 - In May 1921, the Southern California Methodist Conference bought 1,100 acres of land north of Santa Monica, where they began holding camp meetings in Temescal Canyon and later subdivided the land into a new development called Pacific Palisades
3 - PG&E was referenced because of their fault in previous major wildfires in California that had a very significant impact on people.

Yes Jack. Thanks for writing this.
