A government that continues to permit oil drilling but then says it “will deploy all available assets” to help us when we can’t breathe.
President Biden ordered the deployment of all available federal firefighting assets after noxious haze from Canada’s wildfires plunged air quality on the East Coast to hazardous levels. Millions of people continue to breathe acrid air, including in New York, which was shrouded in an orange apocalyptic haze, and down into Pennsylvania, which is recording some of the worst air quality in the world. wapo.st/42vcnYd

Remember the last decade when the western US was under a haze every summer as shit managed federal lands burned millions of acres of forest?

We need better ways of transporting water from flood zones to dry zones. There’s not a lack of water only a lack of innovation. Shutting down oil and gas TODAY is irresponsible.

You forgot to mention your pals in Big Legacy Auto who makes the vehicles that burn that oil and who are incapable of building quality EVs at scale. But Tesla bad because Elon bad, right?

Ms Williamson, The poor air quality in NYC is being caused by forest fires in Canada which would happen even if we were 100% off fossil fuels. Max

If you were a serious candidate you’d be calling for the US and Canada to do a better job at forest management since this forest fire started from lightning strikes. You’d also be listing out ways in which the US could better manage its forests (aka problem solving). But, you’re not a serious candidate and you believe that literally everything is due to “climate change”.

There's '0' possibility this won't adversely affect our health, up to and including immediate death or premature death, let alone, death-causing processes such as mesothelioma or cancer Sending firefighters does not even address this, let alone the ongoing, underlying root cause

without 'oil drilling' the economy would be plunged into darkness and many elderly would die in winter, plus there would be no fertilizer. you are a total idiot, an impostor, a phoney, and a dipshit. have a nice day
