Democratic politicians are launching into their climate cult talking points with respect to the Los Angeles fires, because blaming an evil, invisible specter is a lot easier than reckoning with their failed policies.

President Joe Biden, less than two weeks from leaving office and fading into history as one of America’s worst presidents, said Congress must take on the financial burden of California’s recovery because “In case you haven’t noticed, there is global warming.” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) blamed climate change for Los Angeles not seeing rain in eight months. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) managed the worst take (which is normal for her), celebrating a McDonald’s restaurant burning down while blaming corporations for climate change.
