Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden claimed Monday that the “hellish” wildfires ravaging western states will become more frequent and more deadly if President Trump wins a second term, saying Trump has “no interest in meeting this moment” on climate change.

Biden’s comments, delivered from Delaware, come on a day when both campaigns are focusing on the crisis. Shortly after Biden spoke, Trump met in California with firefighters and emergency officials as he faces criticism for having largely remained silent about the situation.

3. Problem is, 45's crazy cult are saying it is OK that the "left coast" is burning.

My crazy ass cousin, who I blocked today on twitter posted a tweet saying something similar. They see it as doing away with liberals and they think that is ok with them. He also is an elder in his right wing baptist church. I told him there was nothing Christian about wishing people dead and their home destroyed and then I blocked him before he could respond.

5. Unfortunately, the wildfire problem was set in motion by inaction during Clinton, W Bush and Obama.

350. org started yelling pants on fire in 2008. Our big tent avoided stomping on some big toes that needed to be stomped on when we came in with a mandates of "change" and "hope". Al Gore and his progressive crazies were dismissed by the MSM. The Bush administration was totally anti science and pro big oil. We signed the Paris climate accord not as a leader in the policy but as a moderating force as to how much teeth the policy would have. Parts of our party still mock the progressives who are demanding the Green New Deal. This is a prime example of, yes we can all have an option but there is one set of facts and they have dictated an inconvenient truth. The pro Green New Deal stance that our platform has adapted is great, but we will see if we gain power how much we owe the fiddler.

7. He's right because if the Dotard wins a second term, we are in Hell. NT

8. I will be ecstatic to see a Biden administration committed to combatting climate change

Rather than the insane, corrpupt regime we have now that denies science and calls climate change a hoax.
