My problem with climate change activists is that they focus all their attention on this big thing they can't really control, and forget to pay attention to the little things they can control.
Is it climate change that made it so that LA county didn't do enough controlled burns? Is it climate change that made their fire hydrants run out of water? Is it climate change that caused them to neglect setting up fire barriers? Is it climate change that made them have only a one-lane road in and out of the neighborhood?
And what about California's climate change policies? Did the mandate to go all-electric by 2035 do anything to prevent the wildfires?
You keep complaining about climate change and then do nothing to actually mitigate any of its effects. Great job, progressives. This one's on you.
What Libertarians hate about climate change is that if we accept that it is a threat to humanity the only logical way to respond is collectively.
Any call for individuals to altruistically make sacrifices while zero initiative or lead is taken by governments is disingenuous, illogical and will not work. The main beneficiaries of fossil fuel use and other causal agents of climate change will not logically voluntarily change their behavior.
Acknowledging Climate change is to acknowledge the role of governments in responding to it because it is not a problem free markets can fix.
You can probably find many contributing factors to the severity of the California fires but that climate change is the underlying driving force in this event and many others globally is now undeniable...except for Libertarians trapped in their own death cult loop of irrational denial.
You fail to even address the primary issue raised in my post - that the Wests highly financialised economy is extremely vulnerable to climate change due to its underlying reliance upon insurance to support the value of the property assets it is largely based upon.
If natural disaster property insurance is unavailable in Manhattan how much does that reduce the value of that real estate? It will be a substantial reduction if not a collapse- extrapolate that out to the entire economy which is now highly dependent upon real estate ~ and its underlying dependence upon insurance.

Keep complaining about not having enough ideological conformity while you do nothing to actually make things better.

Identifying and explaining the completely irrational and dangerous idiocy of the Libertarian climate change denial narrative is doing something to make things better.
