working to invest in ev infrastructure on the climate side to reduce our reliance on carbon fuels. secondly, we have got to mitigate these fires and with legislation i just signed this week, we are going to invest in more modern firefighting equipment. more people on the ground. frankly, the efforts to create more resilient landscapes. thirdly, obviously, we have to be better prepared for these climate emergencies. just to give you perspective, since april of 2020, we have had for federal emergency declarations in oregon. and addition to the pandemic, we had the horrific wildfires of last fall, we had flooding, we had ice storms in february, and of course most recently, we ve had the horrific heat dome event.

Furthermore, David…
Don’t you find it interesting that whilst their is a vociferous voice that denies the science behind climate change – that no such contrariness exists against things like plate techtonics or the asteroid/comet that bashed into Earth 65 million years ago, annihilating most dinosaurs?
Why is that do you think? Climate change, plate techtonics, and the killer asteroid/comet can’t be directly viewed by the naked human eye. Two involve long-term processes that only scientific instruments, oceanic buoys, and satellites can detect. The only, inferred by discoveries that implicate a celestial collision.
I’ll tell you why. Money.
