climate change is a real thing in the middle of emergency and fire we don t need lectures from members of congress. aoc can save for lecturing from the floor of the house. right now countless firefighters. there are families being impacted. senior citizens, folks with respiratory issues. there is little question that canada needs to obviously focus on forest management. but this isn t the moment to start lecturing people about the science of climate change. right now it s about putting out a fire and keeping people safe. steve: we re looking at some of the images. i mean, it looks like the atmosphere of mars, congressman. it s just yellow you you have people manning the phones in your district office what are people saying about this? my district stretches from bingham, new york, i have been on the phone with the mayor. worst air quality in the country, getting calls around the district. folks concerned about their own
historic actions. and he is certainly going to continue to can stay focused on how we move forward in dealing with climate change. but, again, i m not an expert. clearly, as we have seen over the last couple of decades, climate change has been a real problem. it is the science that shows us that. brian: the weather changes, that seems to bother her. steve: here s the thing. climate change does not start a fire oit can create dry conditions. they have dry conditions in canada. they are blaming bad can forest management dry winter and did not get a lot of snow. janice dean has told that behind the scenes they have not been doing the controlled burns that they should have been doing. and back in 2024 virgtsistst wrote a paper not enough is being done to fund this kind of forest management and there is going to be hell to pay. you know what? fast forward to today. ainsley: here we are.
