As President Joe Biden gears up for his visit to Maui, he is being bombarded with pleas from lawmakers and climate groups. They are urging him to declare a national emergency over climate change, using the recent disaster as leverage.

The devastating fires, suspected to have been ignited by the island’s electric utility and exacerbated by climate change, swept through the idyllic Pacific Haven last week.

The catastrophe claimed at least 110 lives and left the renowned town of Lahaina in ruins. As survivors grapple with the loss of loved ones and a burgeoning housing crisis, climate activists and Congress members are exploiting the situation to push their agenda.

Kaniela Ing, a seventh-generation indigenous Hawaiian from Maui and the national director of the Green New Deal Network, a climate justice organization, has been vocal about his concerns.

He paints a grim picture of a future where communities could be reduced to ashes overnight. However, it’s crucial to question whether these fears are grounded in reality or merely serve to further a political narrative.

Climate change activist groups and left-wing members of Congress are capitalizing on the Maui fires to pressure Biden into declaring a ‘national emergency’ over climate change.

What does such a declaration entail? More restrictions on energy? Climate lockdowns? An erosion of our freedoms? It seems that the tragedy in Hawaii is being used as a stepping stone to seize more power and control.

Rahm Emanuel once famously said, “Never let a crisis go to waste.” This sentiment appears to be echoed by those exploiting the Maui fires to further their climate change agenda.

They seem less concerned about the people of Hawaii and more focused on leveraging this disaster to advance their cause.

There are voices of reason amidst the clamor.

One such voice is Oilfield Rando, who warns against giving one man the power to unilaterally spend taxpayer dollars and revoke freedoms under the guise of an unquantifiable threat.

His words serve as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of declaring a ‘climate emergency.’

The exploitation of the Maui tragedy by the left is clear. It’s not about the people or the planet; it’s about money and power. The tragedy in Hawaii should be a call to action, but not one that leads to the erosion of our freedoms.
