Two major events in Los Angeles this week have highlighted the ongoing tension surrounding climate change and environmental policy. First, members of the Sunrise Movement staged a protest at a Phillips 66 oil facility, drawing attention to the exacerbation of wildfire problems by greenhouse gas emissions. This action underscores the growing unrest among climate activists towards the fossil fuel industry, especially in areas directly affected by environmental disasters such as wildfires. Second, state regulators approved Southern California Edison's wildfire mitigation plan, a decision that has sparked controversy. Despite concerns and requests for the decision to be delayed, the California Public Utilities Commission moved forward with the approval, reflecting the complex landscape of environmental policy amid increasing wildfire risks. These events point to the deeply intertwined issues of climate change, wildfires, and the influence of the energy industry in shaping environmental outcomes.
