r/genz weighs in on the LA fires
HIGHLIGHTS
Sam Smith is British and has never been in a Hollywood movie. Not sure what that has to do with this?
Sam Smith performed literal Satanic worship as part of the show at the 2023 Grammies. Thankfully fewer and fewer people find the Grammies relevant anymore, so it isn't entirely surprising you havent seen it. You didn't miss anything good. The performance was called "Unholy."

Weird that California's population is growing tho? Almost as if more people want in than out
its not growing lol. its been declining in population for several years. it is also the state the most people leave every single year
Your source is trust me bro? It declined during covid after growing forever before that. Back to growth in 2023 and 2024. https://apnews.com/article/california-population-growth-pandemic-decline-0d2bfc2c0a4ced0c3c2ad934207818bc. Still by far the largest state by population, so it's the state seen as the most favorable to live in by Americans, also making it the most American state. See yourself out buddy.
Historic winds, historic timing, historic droughts…Yeah this is totally normal guys
almost like the area has been settled by modern inhabitants for 200 years and that we werent recording weather events until even later
It’s almost like we have extreme weather events because of climate change and it’s getting worse and it will keep getting worse till we do something
Extreme? Nothing extreme on that wind that's happening every year
This is the most extreme wind since 2011 so that's not every year and if it becomes every year, it's because of climate change. That's why we need to stop climate change and try to reverse it
"to not believe in global warming at this point is just completely insane" Also known as holding mainstream right wing views.
I believe in global warming, however I do not believe that it is man-made nor do I believe that man can solve it. It’s a solar system people. We cannot affect the solar system. All of the right wingers I know feel the same way.
This guy is being sarcastic. Nobody is actually that dumb
Ah yes, I forgot, fire isn't suppose to exist in January
Purposely being dumb isn't a valid argument
Wtf else am I suppose to glean from someone complaining about wildfires because of the month it so happened to take place in? Wildfires can happen at any time of the year. Fire doesn't give a fuck if it's January. It's complete fucking nonsense.
It's an out of season fire. It's like getting a snowstorm in the middle of summer.
What the fuck is an "out of season" fire? If it's dry and windy, it's fire season.
They’ve been doing prescribed fires in California for years. They only stop at times of high risk and lack of resources, or resource management. I work with Cal Fire. Get out of your bubble dude. Stop parroting far right talking points.
Bro did one roll and thinks he knows it all. This isn’t just recent history, California has historically been anti rx fire. The Feds and their contractors clean up your mess every summer because you work for an incompetent agency. Thanks for all the overtime over the years
"We can't burn the environment! That's bad!" That's how I remember the mentality in California.
Again, you have no idea what your talking about, but hey... everyone is an expert on the internet.
Well obviously whatever Cali is doing simply isn’t working
Yes. All that missing rain is so woke.
See this is what happens when you ignore building codes
I Don’t even wanna be that guy but homelessness is out of control, they’ve ran the nation’s largest insurance companies out of the state, the nation’s 5 largest home builders out of the state and now this shit. Gonna be a rough rebuilding especially for those who don’t have insurance since they kinda got ran out the state.
I Don’t even wanna be that guy but capitalism is out of control. It's not just Cali, it's Florida, soon to be all of the coastal regions. There's business owners on the news saying how they have to rebuild their stores every year due to weather events or one thing or another. That's not normal.
Okay r/Hasan_Piker poster what's your plan. Will socialism tell the hurricanes to stop flooding my cities and eating my house?
He should resign like his buddy in Canada did this week.
He should resign because there was a fire? okay
You mean the same fire that happens in the same relative area every single year? Almost like there's things that could of been done to prevent it.
Exactly, that is the governors job to manage the fires. Or at least if its something I dont like, that is the direct responsibility of the people I dont like, checkmate!
The Democrats have been in power in California for decades. It's on them that nothings been done about the wildfires. You can blame climate change all you want but India and China aren't lowering their carbon emissions any time soon, so we need to adapt to it. The people in charge need to be held responsible.
I 100% agree on your take but how exactly would the democrats have fixed any of that? They had many years in office and didn’t really address it it’s more of a US problem rather than right or left
Are you kidding me? How about all the DEM efforts to move to green energy, increase CAFE standards, and reduce our carbon emissions, which are the main f’ing driver of climate change? Meanwhile, the Right is out there chanting, “Drill! Drill! Drill!” and attempting to rollback all the progress the Left has made in trying to fight climate change. Hell, the GOP in Florida even scrubbed all government websites of any mention of climate change! Take your “both sides are the same” BS over to Twitter or Facebook for fucksakes!!!
Green energy isn’t actually any better for the environment once you factor in real world conditions.
Nuclear is the best option, it’s considered green
Is it considered green? That’s always what I’ve supported as our best option but it gets a lot of push back from people who say they like green energy.
Nuclear is by far the most efficient green energy we have, but 3 mile island and Chernobyl are still in the back of some people’s minds so many don’t consider it green.
