Did Gavin Newsom forget that the Department of Justice arrested the suspect believed to have started the Palisades fire in January? Because he’s still out there blaming an invisible climate that no one can see, feel, or comprehend—despite all the evidence proving otherwise.

According to Newsom, the climate is “climate-ing.” You know, dryness is dry and hotter is hot—a concept that shouldn’t be blamed on invisible, evil forces. But, of course, Newsom doesn’t care about this little thing called “facts,” which is why he went on to blame climate change for his state’s failures.

And don’t take their failures lightly. Although the blaze was originally started by arson, according to officials, there are still reports that firefighters were ordered not to monitor the fire closely—despite knowing that winds were reaching 100 mph.

According to KTLA:

A new report in the Los Angeles Times indicates that firefighters were ordered to abandon the smoldering underground fire that later became the devastating Palisades Fire, something the crews on the ground thought was a “bad idea.”

According to text messages reviewed by the Times, firefighters told their battalion chief that “the ground was still smoldering and rocks remained hot to the touch” at the site of the Lachman Fire, which burned on New Year’s Day before being contained.

Despite that warning, “their battalion chief ordered them to roll up their hoses and pull out of the area on Jan. 2 — the day after the 8-acre blaze was declared contained — rather than stay and make sure there were no hidden embers that could spark a new fire,” the Times reports.

The thing about fire is that it destroys everything in its path. And it’s what you would call “hot,” as Newsom puts it. So this begs the question: why would they ignore this fire when they knew the winds were strong? You do the math.

That first fire, which prosecutors say was started by an Uber driver, remained burning underground until the strong winds of Jan. 7 rekindled it.

Weird how climate change apparently gets started by an Uber driver. Wow. Incredible how these things work.

I don’t know who Newsom thinks he’s fooling, but it certainly isn’t you. That being said, he’s got to come up with a better excuse to cover his state’s incompetence, because everyone—and their grandmas—knows what happened. It’s unclear whether he actually believes his own excuse or is just lying, but again, you do the math.
