Kamala Harris returned to making public appearances on Thursday, touring the devastation left behind by the Palisades wildfires and later taking in a Los Angeles Lakers game.

In her attempt to explain the fire situation and link it to global warming, the former vice president inadvertently reminded Americans how we really, truly dodged a bullet.

See if you, dear reader, can figure out what she's saying here.

“As we think about the future, we must, as a society, as a country, invest in adaptation and resilience, and we have to understand these extreme weather occurrences are extreme, but they are increasingly less rare," she told reporters.

I'm unsure what came to your mind when watching that word salad, but my first thought was Chris Tucker in Rush Hour asking Jackie Chan, "What the hell did you just say?"

To recap:

  • The solution to fighting wildfires is "adaptation and resilience." This contrasts with President Trump, who has repeatedly suggested the answer is "water."
  • Extreme weather is extreme. Just as hot weather is hot. Hard coconuts are hard. Yellow buses are yellow. You get the picture.
  • The ability to turn one word into three is simply magical. Frequent = Increasingly less rare.

That is a wordsmith extraordinaire. Had she won the presidency, the transformation from the soaring oratory of Abraham Lincoln's "Four Score and Seven Years Ago" to "Extreme Weather is Extreme" would have been mind-boggling.

Kamala is so desperate to link the devastating wildfires to climate change that she didn't stop to think of two or three coherent sentences she could give to the press.

Harris pushed that view once again as she spoke to reporters further on the matter.

“These extreme weather conditions have become far more frequent than we have historically been used to and highlight the importance of not only a very meaningful and robust federal, state, and local partnership among agencies and individuals, but really also highlight the fact that here in California, for example, we no longer talk about wildfire season," she said.

"Any month of the year, we are likely to see these wildfires occur.”

Investigations into the source of the various wildfires are ongoing. Several theories are being put forth for different locations, including the potential of arson, the rekindling of a previous fire, or downed power lines.

CNN data guru Harry Enten has previously explained that the Google search patterns of Americans, specifically Californians, show they are not buying into the link between these wildfires and global warming.

"I don't think Americans are making this connection," said Enten.

"The bottom line is this: Americans are definitely interested in learning about these wildfires," he said. "They're interested in following the news about the wildfires. But they are not making that connection with climate change."

We simple Americans just can't understand the complex minds of those who think global warming makes extreme weather extreme.
