Using Climate Change as a Fear Mongering Tactic in times like this is exactly how Laudato Si' could come into play one day in the near future....Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart. Jeremiah 37:9
The
string of wildfires that hit the state has brought unprecedented
destruction to the region's infrastructure. Around 30,000 people were
evacuated from the city of Louisville and the town of Superior before
the communities were hit by the Marshall Fire, which destroyed 500
houses and over 25 square kilometres of land by New Year's Eve. 
The
blazes reached an unprecedented level, with Steve Fenberg, Colorado
Senate Majority Leader, calling the Marshall Fire “the most destructive
wildfire in Colorado history”.
Strong winds of up to 105 mph (185 km/h) are fanning flames across the state amid a historic drought.
So far, the most powerful wildfire in Colorado history was the 2013 fire, in which 511 homes were burned and destroyed." Sputnik
"The
powerful storm comes as a shock as unpredictable weather caused by
human-induced climate change increases. So far this year the
mid-Atlantic has experienced an unusually warm and snow-free winter,
with the nation’s capital having experienced a high of 66 degrees on
Jan. 2, 2022.
Millions
of Americans across the mid-Atlantic woke up to one of the biggest
snowstorms in recent years on Monday as many were left in limbo after
being forced to deal with the aftermath of vast power 
outages.
The storm also caused some difficulty in travel for Air Force One and
the presidential motorcade as they returned US President Joe Biden to
the White House after a weekend in Delaware.
The
snow fell quickly, accumulating to about a foot throughout Washington,
DC, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and southern New Jersey. The storm also
stretched toward northern Alabama, northern Georgia, Tennessee, North
Carolina, and even the Florida Panhandle.
The snow buildup comes as a particular shock to Birmingham, Alabama, who
experienced New Year’s Day in 80-degree weather, and are now faced with
temperatures as low as 35 degrees Fahrenheit and strong wind gusts.
After heavy snowfall in Townsend, Tennessee, a tree collapsed on
a rental home killing a 7 year-old girl who was in her bed. A similar
tragedy occurred in Decatur, Georgia, involving 5 year-old Zachariah
Jackson who died when a tree fell on his home. Officials are speculating
the tree in Decatur fell due to extremely wet and windy weather
conditions.
The
snowstorm will have extensive negative impact, as nearly 1 million
Americans are without power in the southeast and mid-Atlantic. Virginia
has been hit particularly hard with over 400,000 currently without
power.
Extreme
and unpredictable weather has caused a combined 7,200 international and
US flights to be grounded as of midday Monday and delayed another
10,158 flights.
Virginia
State Police reported some 82 car accidents by 8 a.m. Monday - that
number climbed to 522 accidents and stranded vehicles by 12:30 p.m. To
date, no injuries have been reported.
Washington
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser earlier declared a snow emergency in the
district, which is planned to remain in effect until 7 p.m. on Monday.
The district’s health department has also canceled all COVID-19 testing
due to the snow. Additionally, federal buildings, the Washington
Metropolitan Transit Authority, and all Smithsonian museums are closed
and/or have suspended services due to the weather." Sputnik
