  1. Imagine that another state on fire. They’re not gonna stop until we’re all out of homes so you know all this is, is an act to depress us more. Another distraction and a middle finger to all of us.
    So let’s stop feeling sick. We can change things by sticking together. This hate crime against Americans by America has gone to far. We are family after all so let’s enjoy what we can. I hope you find some happiness today. Turn on music, dance, give a hug or whatever you enjoy that is peaceful. Spread this love… it is more powerful than hate🙏💖

  2. Maybe all you republican Climate deniers will wake up? Doubt it 😂 meanwhile drought restrictions were lifted in California…

  3. I’m glad this is getting national coverage but I can’t with the way they always mispronounce things or give the wrong specific information. “De-RY-Der” LOL
    Still, better than being told to shelter in place in basements during hurricanes.

  4. So much 'weather modification' it's awful for everyone.

  5. I think we got someone setting all these fires.probably a demorat.

  6. Nevermind all of the wild fires. Just continue to believe that global warming is a hoax. Everything will be fine. Until it isn't.

  7. I'm here just waiting for the minority of simpletons to realize what's happening in front of our very eyes, in real time.

    We are in a climate crisis and the ONLY WAY FORWARD is coming together. That's the only way we're gonna figure out the biggest problem humanity has faced.

    👏Cuz this is the ONLY PLANET WE HAVE TO LIVE ON 👏

  8. Smart cities coming to a location near u

  9. Putting the fire out right the first time would be the answer. Why does the government have to wait till the fire is so big before they’ll do some thing and then it gets out of control and then I can’t do nothing

  10. Burn, let it burn, wanna wanna let it burn.
    -sublime.

  11. That’s their new solution for abortion Louisiana is shameful Trump country trump save them wait your the reason their in this position !

  12. Gotta have some in all corners of the continent, so these idiots don't get it twisted.

  13. Global warming, I'm afraid it will continue to get worse

  14. Got what you voted for, 20 year of politicizing climate change denial. Enjoy being on fire.

  15. I always thought Louisiana are full of rednecks in the boonies. Can someone confirm if this is true? I live in the modern city so I don't know much about savages.

  16. This is a global crisis. I want to thank you for not mentioning the name of Florida's governor.

  17. Take your head out of the sand if you think these are accidental or climate fires. These are man-made purposeful fires

  18. Climate change!!!

  19. THe Most High has judged amerikkka for its wickedness. Nothing good will EVER happen here. APTTMH

  20. STATEN ISLAND IS NEXT. KARMA. KEEP BASHING MIGRANTS WHO ARE HUNGRY. YOU PEOPLE PERSECUTED JESUS CHRIST. BURN!!!

  21. Fire is the way the earth cleans itself. It has happened since the beginning of earth and it will continue until forever. It has noth8ng to do with climate change, global warming or anything other whopping BS lie they try to tell you.

  22. Biden will interrupt his vacation and go there and compare this to his contained in 20 minutes kitchen fire and talked about himself and his Corvette is ok.

  23. eco terrorist at it again. fbi helps with planning and logistics
