You just have to laugh when they get upset over the propaganda just not working anymore.
“The searches for wildfires – up 2,400%. The most ever. Search for climate change? It went down 9%. In California, no increase in the search for climate change.”
“Americans don’t connect wildfires to climate change.” Oh, the humanity! Watch the video:

Maybe people are figuring out the scam?
And the Klimate Klan Kids are going bananas .

Actually “people” have known this for quite awhile now.
What’s new about this is that MSM like CNN are finally starting to report on it.
See: Source: https://news.gallup.com/poll/1615/environment.aspx
The latest poll shows the following results for 2023 as compared to 1998 (the past 25 years).
If you look at the pole results over the past few decades you will see that these aren’t sudden changes in view point, they have been evolving slowly over many years.
Are these trends? Are they accelerating? Are there any computer models that can predict these trends?
Give the climate “scientists” a few days and they’ll adjust the models to show the trend of worriers is accelerating upwards
show the trend of worriers is accelerating upwards
The number of worriers is decreasing, but the worriers are worrying more – enough so that the net total worry is increasing.
Pretty sure I could model that.
Micky Mann has models that can predict whatever you want!
Note the words used. They say first:
“People are less convinced that we are contributing a great deal to Climate Change.”
Then they immediately say:
“People don’t think they can do anything about Climate Change.”
Even in their heads, they immediately swap ‘we don’t contribute’ to ‘we can’t do anything about it’, as though people have just given up. We haven’t given up, we don’t think we are causing this. Probably because anyone able and willing to think for themselves can find out very quickly that ‘extreme weather’ is not increasing!
And some just might remember some of the many failed predictions.
Just tacking on the word “extreme” to a weather event isn’t working anymore.
Whaddya mean the scam?

Not really. They are just going after the entertainment value of sensationalism.
Oh, the humanity! Watch the video:
Sorry, no. I don’t think I will. It’s not funny anymore. It’s sad.
It’s way worse in my imagination.
If ANYONE is watching the Comedy News Network for something besides irony, schadenfreude, and laughter; they are in critical need of a deprogramming intervention! MSLSD is the same type of misinformation provider, with a liberal dollop of psychedelics added in to further confuse the regular viewer!
It’s CNN. It’s the epitome of modern journalism.
We are winning! Thanks in part to WUWT, I do believe. I knew the climate scam had to crumble some time.
Can only make negative adjustments to history so many times before … yeah it took almost 40 years. We (USA) almost elected a US president who attached himself to it about 20 years ago.
Was that Al Gorbage Mouth?
He was so close.
These guys are even dumber than I thought.
Perhaps people are finally waking up to the fact that “climate change” is just a scheme to rob them of their essential liberty. Thank goodness.
Ah yes, CNN.
Every time I see her name, that’s what I think of: Watching her in the donut shop licking a donut in secret and then leaving it for someone else to buy. I wonder if she was infected with anything at the time?
Not a pretty picture. Not something you want to be remembered for.
Do people watch that nonsense? I crawled out of my hole and watched all but 5 seconds of it. I’m shocked that anyone would tune in a second time.
People watch “The View”, John, so at least some will watch about anything.
I sense enough info is filtering through {pun alert} the smoke that many people are learning the history of fires in the area and the growth of flammable vegetation. Then there is this: You can always tell a committed “greenie” but you can’t tell ’em much.

I went to a live on-site presentation 10+ years ago. Paul Hessburg, Research Ecologist with Pacific Northwest Research Station (near me) was the lead, but county and state officials and home owners were involved.
CNN should only be used for entertainment purposes. 😁
Pity it can’t be used ti line the bottom of the bird cage. Newspapers used to have some use.
hmm maybe people are searching “wildfire” because of the large publicity of the devastating fires in LA and less people are searching climate change as a result of expected monthly variation?
just a thought
There was an “old” song named “Wildfire”.
Maybe there’s renewed interest in it?

You know, Gov Newsom and all the California progressives have claimed for years that climate change was making the annual California wildfires worse.
Yet they have continued to block sensible fire prevention and mitigation efforts, diverting money and water from firemen and farmers to fish as well as refusing clearing of brush and grasslands.
So, what do they actually believe?
I think Newsom claims that Cali has doubled its number of firefighters, equipment and firefighting budget since 2019…. So about keeping up with housing prices, well he didn’t add that part…
Story Tip — So what did “cause” the fires? Clearly there were multiple factors, but one interesting perpetrator may have been the California Coastal Commission (CCC).
Cliff Mass on his Weather Blog of Jan11 [here] pinpointed the ignition site of the Palisades Fire at the Skull Rock trailhead of Topanga Canyon State Park above the community of Summit.
Cliff posted pics of wooden-poled powerlines in that vicinity and conjectured that high winds could have dislodged those poles or lines and sparked the fire.
A commenter noted those poles were slated to be replaced with steel poles in 2019, but that project was canceled when the CCC issued a cease-and-desist order to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (and a $2 million fine) for disturbing “an estimated 182 individual specimens of the endangered Braunton’s milk-vetch” [here].
Braunton’s milk-vetch (Astragalus brauntonii) is an allegedly endangered chaparral species that ironically is propagated by fire.
I wonder how many endangered Astragalus brauntonii were consumed in the conflagration
There have been bushfires in Australia for tens of thousands of years.
It’s obvious.
The vegetation has evolved to cope with and regenerate after fire.
Some species even need fire to stimulate germination.
California is no different.
Therefore, there have been wildfires in California for tens of thousands of years.
A scientist trained a frog to jump on the command, “Jump, froggy , jump”. The scientist begins to cut off the frogs legs one at a time while commanding the frog to jump. After each leg is cut off the frog still jumps, but when the last leg was removed and commanded “Jump, froggy , jump” the frog didn’t jump. Conclusion: frogs with no legs can’t hear.
Tomorrow it’ll be Trump’s fault. Hey, it worked before. /sarc
How many of California’s famous, long standing trees (2,000 years give or take),
How long would it take are pretty much immune to wildfires?
Aren’t there some plants that depend on fire to open there seed pods?
How did they adapt all those years ago to something that is hyped as “new”?
Because people are reading and watching accounts of past Santa Ana wind fires from decades ago and realizing it has always happened. They are also realizing that elected officials never did anything to reduce the fire risk and in some ways increased the risk.

Lock ’em up and throw away the key.
As WUWT just has noted, CNN, The Guardian, Politico, and no doubt the BBC have pretty much guaranteed us that the the LA fires have been caused mainly by human-induced climate change. I’ve also noticed that the CBC hasn’t missed its chance to attribute them to the same causes. Yet as many on this site and beyond have noted, these climate catastrophes haven’t reversed the planet’s dependence on fossil fuels nor have they put the brakes on exploration for new sources of them. Just look at the way Asian countries are exploiting their reserves and building new coal plants. Meanwhile has there been any major or even minor reversals in their use in the advanced world? Whatever there has been is on a strictly small scale, and consumers have few intentions of altering their lifestyles to supposedly mitigate some non-existent climate crisis.
It’s OK because CNN, the CBC, the ABC and the BBC, among others are having some sort of contest to see which one can disseminate more climate alarmism. While they’re at it, they should be posting daily results and standings so that their viewers know which one to turn to for the biggest laugh.
The problem is simply that California has failed to invest and even to take sufficient action when any previous fires have occurred and they have not properly learned from other countries’ ideas and solutions – especially from Australia. Wouldn’t you think they would be onto this now? Are they?
The lessons of the devastating 1939 Australian fires were learned and then unlearned hence the huge fires a few years back

Most of the environment nuts refuse to believe wildfires happened before the last few years.
Just noted the use of bad red and fun green – apparently “wildfires up” is a green.
