James Woods Loses Home in California Wildfire

Actor James Woods has publicly responded to a troll who mocked him for losing his home in the Pacific Palisades wildfire, claiming it was ironic given his skepticism about climate change. Woods vehemently denied that the fire was linked to climate change, attributing the disaster to poor fire management by California officials, particularly Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. He shared that his home was threatened, with smoke alarms going off and his family evacuating safely. Over 30,000 residents were ordered to evacuate due to the fast-spreading wildfires driven by strong Santa Ana winds, which have endangered more than 10,000 homes. While scientists are still assessing the role of climate change in the fires, Woods insists that fire management decisions have significantly contributed to the crisis. He also expressed concern about potential challenges with insurance support after the disaster.
