A new wildfire was reported today at 7:43 a.m. in Los Angeles County. The wildfire has been burning on private land. At this time, the containment status is unknown and the cause of the fire remains undetermined.

California should, then, follow a University of Chicago conclusion: “Wildfire emissions need to be a key part of climate policy if California is going to meet its emission reduction goals.” Instead, Newsom and company use climate change as an excuse, suggesting in essence that their hands are tied until we reverse the Earth’s climate trajectory.

Donald Trump has named two conditions that he said he will need to see before agreeing to provide federal disaster relief to California.

The only thing that is certain right now is that California desperately needs aid, and even more so, needs its state and federal leaders to step up to the plate and work together.
