Maui’s Deadly Wildfires Burn Through Lahaina – It’s a Reminder of the Growing Risk to Communities That Once Seemed Safe – scheerpost.com

Australia how prepared are we? Murdoch’s media screams little or nothing needs to be done global warming is a hoax. However, the winds Maui is experiencing are the direct result of the hurricane experienced on the American mainland.

Wildfires, pushed by powerful winds, raced through Lahaina, Hawaii, on Aug. 8 and 9, 2023, leaving a charred and smoldering landscape across the tourist town of about 13,000 residents that was once the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii. At least 36 people died, Maui County officials said. Others were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard after going into the ocean to escape the flames.

The sector has prevented us from transitioning to renewables back in the 20th century when we could have done so with little pain; the time has come to make them compensate us for the suffering that has only just begun.
