California's governor, Gavin Newsom, has been accused of using climate change as an excuse for his economic policy. This includes the repeal of the "endangerment rule" which allows the EPA to regulate carbon emissions. This rule has led to increased oil refinery layoffs and rising gas prices in California. However, these claims are not true, as wildfires have fallen 25% worldwide over the past 25 years. The increase in wildfires in California is attributed to poor planning and management, particularly in California, led to an increase in the size and scale of these wildfires. The state is suing the Trump administration over its decision to repeal this rule. The real solution to this issue is better management, rather than blaming climate change.
