This is a tragedy, and unfortunately the general sentiment I've seen online from trumpers is that "this is not natural" and "this was an intentional geoengineering attack by the democrats". MTG has already introduced a bill that:

This is the worst timeline.
That is a shit policy. That wording means that planes can't be used to pour fire retardants onto blazes, and likely many other useful practices that I don't know about.
You can also flip it the other way and force chemical companies to completely stop dumping of anything into the air because their burning waste causes acid rain which has been scientifically proven and is known to alter weather negatively. I'm sure all of her petroleum constituents would love that.
Made worse by the hijacking of the Magic: The Gathering acronym by Marjorie Taylor Green.
So the combined efforts of 8 billion people can't change the climate, but the democrat party can? Do they think it's full of supervillains or something? Oh fuck. They probably do, don't they?
Remember, with these types, every accusation is a confession.
As a progressive, I would LOVE to have these mythical powers that Turdpublicans think me to have. Sadly, I can't turn off wildfires or make mosquitos stop sucking.
Wasn't that introduced to counter ideas about geoengineering against climate change?
Like solar engineering and stuff like that? It makes sense from the perspective of somebody who denies man-made climate change to not have people tamper with this.
I don't think the claim of this resent event beeing an geoengineering attack and the bill you refer too are connected. At least not as far as I understand it.
Climate denial should be seen as the same as being a Nazi. People are actually being harmed and biomes are being destroyed.
Their behavior is such a disservice to the victims.They simply couldn’t admit to being wrong about climate change. It’s painfully disingenuous. And will create more victims in the future as magical thinking and conspiratorial voices are elevated
