Trump and Elon’s Budget Cuts And The Effect on Wildfire Prevention

Douglas McIntyre and David Callaway, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discuss the repercussions of federal budget cuts to firefighting services, stressing how fewer firefighters will increase the chances of larger wildfires. They compare this situation to a preventable disaster, reflecting on the difficulty of halting actions once they are set in motion. They also touch on how tariffs, which seem arbitrary and poorly planned, are negatively affecting the market and will have broader economic consequences.
