Hurt people?
You need to unpack that as I have never seen even a hint of an intent to hurt anyone.
Look, I don' give a fiddler's **** what you call it, I am not in the debate whether man made or natural (it sure the **** anything "natural" I have seen in 70 years), but I do care that California is burning and we, this far north can smell the ****ing smoke. Here, we have "monster" fires every year now. 40 years ago no one had ever heard of a "crossoever fire" where a wildfire burns down whole towns, now it's fifteen, twenty a year.
Inuits in the north have lost their land. And entire island where they would encamp for summer is gone, several meters under water. North of me, less than an hour's drive there is a logging road and if you know about it will continue when it looks like it ends and you will climb a very steep slope and when the trees clear there is a glacier, 100 meters thick, covering 237 hectares. Or rather there WAS a glacier covering 237 hectares....today it is a small lake with nothing alive in it, as with most melted glaciers the water is heavily saline.
Meanwhile, where we could once have walked any stream in the lower mainland and scooped up Sockeye with our bare hands, there "closed fisheries" now and concerns that salmon are becoming extinct. Imagine that, the world's most prolific fish and food source for hundreds of animals...gone.
So I don't give a rats ass about what Americans THINK. All I know is your country is at least as filthy as ours, but now you won't even talk about measures to try to clean it up.
