Stable Genius?

President Donald Trump arrived in California in a smoky haze today and promptly blamed the wildfires ravaging the West Coast not on climate change but on the failure by states to properly manage their forests. By contrast, his opponent in the November election, former Vice President Joe Biden, directly connected the blazes that have displaced thousands of people to climate change. In a speech in Delaware, he called Mr. Trump a “climate arsonist.”  The California wildfires that have burned more than five million acres, destroyed scores of homes and left at least 26 people dead.  To the global scientific community, the ash-filled skies are the tragic, but predictable, result of accelerating climate change. Federal government scientists predicted two years ago that greenhouse gas emissions could triple the frequency of severe fires across the Western states.  The country has suffered through almost four years of Trump’s incompetence.  His only ability to govern can be found in the way he has un-done any of the environmental issues necessary to curtail the cause of the severity of these wild fires, global warming. That Trump continues to ignore the real cause is in keeping with his fucked up way of “managing” Covid-19.  While Trump may label himself a stable genius the world is convinced Trump is a stupid ignoramus.
