❤️   California's Policies Laid the Groundwork for Wildfire Danger

Politics

As soon as wildfires roared into wealthy Los Angeles neighborhoods, politicians, activists, and journalists began framing the disaster as “the climate crisis in action,” in the words of one global NGO. The leftist Zinn Education Project urged teachers to “#TeachClimateJustice” by encouraging students to describe the event as “a fossil-fueled disaster.” It’s true that climate change is one of several plausible factors behind this historic outbreak (though, as Patrick Brown notes, the role of warming is nuanced). But the relentless emphasis on climate obscures a bigger lesson from the ongoing fire catastrophe: Los Angeles just became the world’s most dramatic example of the expanding bullseye effect.
