There are 850 people who remain missing nearly two weeks after Hawai’i’s historic wildfires, as state officials warn the death toll will climb while search and recovery efforts continue
and of course many “news” outlets have covered it as if the 100-something already found were all of the possible ones…
Downplaying climate catastrophy is one of their main tenants. No surprise many have failed to even mention the number of potentially dead until it’s not a hot topic.
I thought it was a failure to react and less to do with climate? Wasn’t the cause a fallen power line and fires whipped up by wind?
Each and every occurance will have an explanation that makes sense. It happened in reality: It will have a literal cause.
The point of tying this to climate change is the trend of ever-increasing severity and commonality of storms like the one that turned a simple fire in to a disaster.
The news isn’t going to talk about the trend of increasing problems unless they can immediately scape-goat it to other topics, like “poorly maintained electricals”. Why are they poorly maintained? The government regulates the sh*t out of utilities: we COULD require it. Why are we not preparing infrastructure for a more difficult future?
The news will never tell you. They just want you to be mad at someone specific and forget who it was by the next segment. Then, you’re upset, watching, and not leaving to do anything about it because they’re only whining about small specific problems normal people have no control over.
Conservatives are happy. Mass destruction and death is all part of god’s plan and big oil will never lead them astray. Global heating is totally normal and the intelligent people are just overreacting.
Conservatism is a plague of death in desperate need of a cure. Teach your children why it is not appropriate to do business or keep relationships with conservatives.
At the Nuremberg trials they defined evil as a complete lack of empathy. I have yet to meet a Republican with any empathy.

Truth hurts huh?
If my 3rd world SEA country has a casualty toll of 850, government leaders will be forced to step down. Somehow this does not bat an eyelid in schoolshooterland.
There were no mass shootings in Hawaii from 2014-2022 I bet some heads will roll, but it’s such a devastating incident you probably need those people to help until a proper investigation occurs to detail what really happened.
