Recent increases in wildfires have sparked unjustified climate change alarmism, diverting attention from practical solutions like improved forest management and controlled burns. While these fires do pose health risks, such as a weakened immune system and the spread of infections, the solution lies in responsible environmental stewardship and policy changes that focus on land management, rather than imposing economy-harming climate regulations.

Not only do these fires destroy homes and wildlife, but they also significantly weaken the body's immune defenses, making populations more susceptible to a range of infections. This situation underscores the urgent need for comprehensive climate policies to protect communities and the environment from further harm.
