California fires prove climate change's reality

I would like to announce the founding of my new business: "The Phantom Climate Change Deniers Travel Agency." For all those right-thinking conservative citizens with their comfortable blinders on. Especially our illustrious local leading denier: Monte Heil, this is for you. We will take you around the planet to experience what is really producing those 100-plus degrees Fahrenheit. Gulf waters, evil lefty Democrats who are putting huge heating elements in the water so as to artificially give Hurricanes more fuel to become larger than ever and aiming them at red states. The beautiful great barrier reef is now dead-white because climate change fanatics are pouring bleach in the water.

Next, we will take you to what are really calm, peaceful areas of the country where fake science pushers claim all the increased flooding and tornadoes are caused by climate change but are really products of AI.  

All kidding aside, the Jan. 8 fire in Los Angeles County in California demonstrates how detached from reality, reason and plain old common sense that climate deniers are. Their nonsensical, even ludicrous statements that climate change is a product of our imagination is like the babbling from a mental ward. The fire there wasn't out in the boonies, it was in the Palisades … West Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood and is the worst fire in the county in recorded history. And this is January.

A little advice, believe your own eyes and senses, not some blind partisan hacks.
