Green Policies and Government Incompetence Led to the Tragedy of the Maui Fire

As many as 1000 persons, many of them children, may have died as a result of the fire in Maui. The exact toll — above the hundreds documented — is difficult to assess right now as the bodies are charred beyond recognition and scientific equipment to test the remains are not readily available, but the tragedy — naturally and without basis — is being blamed on “climate change” in many of the media accounts. In fact, these people died as human sacrifices to green policies, legislative and corporate missteps, and administrative incompetence.  The citizens of Hawaii, a solidly Democratic one-party state, are learning what those of similarly governed urban centers are learning: elect incompetents who forget their first duty is to protect their constituents and you will suffer. Will they respond as they ought to and vote out of office the governor and legislature responsible?

The fire began at 12:22 a.m. when most residents were home. Sirens could have alerted them to get out of danger, but none were utilized. Maui’s emergency operations chief, Herman Andaya, who lacked any background in disaster response, said they were used to alert residents that a tsunami was coming and to go to higher ground and he feared if he sounded the alarm people would move to higher ground where the fire was. Governor Josh Green defended Andaya’s decision. Andaya, citing “health concerns” has resigned.

  1. Just as with enormous California wildfires, poor forestry practices were largely to blame, despite adequate regulations and funding being in place, with more money for the asking through Congress. This was a management problem, local, state and federal.
