It’s almost like clockwork. A wildfire erupts, and before the smoke even clears, the liberal media and their allies in the Democratic Party are out in force, megaphones in hand, proclaiming that climate change is the culprit. The playbook is predictable: sensational headlines, alarmist rhetoric, and a desperate attempt to tie every natural disaster to their pet cause. But here’s the kicker: it’s not working.
Take the recent Los Angeles County wildfires, specifically the Palisades fire. A tragedy, yes. A reason to blame humanity for cooking the planet? Not so fast. Despite the relentless drumbeat of climate hysteria, most Americans remain unconvinced. Google searches tell the story: wildfire searches are up an astronomical 2400%, while searches for “climate change” have dropped like a rock. Turns out, when people are evacuating their homes, worrying about their loved ones, and praying their possessions aren’t reduced to ash, they aren’t exactly prioritizing the progressive talking points of the day.
And why should they? The data on global warming “concern” has barely budged in over three decades. Thirty years! That’s three decades of dire warnings, apocalyptic predictions, and “scientific consensus,” and yet most voters remain skeptical that humans are driving catastrophic climate change. Maybe it’s because people are smarter than the media gives them credit for. They know that Earth’s climate has been fluctuating for centuries. Medieval warming periods, little ice ages—these cycles existed long before the Industrial Revolution or SUVs.
What we do know about the Palisades fire so far is that it wasn’t caused by melting glaciers or rising seas. Investigators are looking into the possibility that it started near Skull Rock in Pacific Palisades—a hotspot for hikers and, apparently, fireworks on New Year’s Eve. Fire officials suspect the earlier fire in the area, sparked by fireworks, may have left embers smoldering, reignited by strong winds. Add in human carelessness, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.
Eyewitness accounts paint a picture of how quickly this fire turned catastrophic. Local residents like Darrin Hurwitz described noticing a smoky smell during their morning hikes—hours before the blaze erupted. Others, like Nic Libonati, watched helplessly as the flames advanced toward their homes, fanned by powerful winds that blew water hoses back into their faces. It’s a stark reminder that nature, not the liberal narrative, remains the most formidable force at play.
And yet, here comes the media, trying to shoehorn this human tragedy into their climate change agenda. Never mind that investigators haven’t ruled out arson, power line malfunctions, or a simple rekindling of embers from an earlier fire. No, the press is determined to make this another chapter in their never-ending “end-of-the-world” narrative.

But here’s the reality they can’t ignore: people aren’t buying it. The trust in mainstream media is at rock bottom because of stunts like this. Americans see the same headlines recycled again and again, and they’re tired of being manipulated. These are real people with real problems, and their immediate concern isn’t abstract climate models or polar bears; it’s survival.
Once again, the left overplays its hand, trying to turn a tragic wildfire into a climate sermon. And once again, the American public shrugs it off, proving they’re far more grounded in reality than the activists posing as journalists. You can almost hear the collective eye-roll across the nation. Better luck next time, liberal media.
