Hollywood director Jim Jarmusch blamed the deadly Los Angeles wildfires on “climate deniers,” demanding that people “wake the fuck up.”
“I know all of us are worried about our friends in Los Angeles,” Jarmusch began before presenting filmmaker Sean Baker with an award for best screenplay for the 2024 film, Anora, at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards on Wednesday night in New York City.
Jarmusch’s remarks then took a bizarre turn as he proceeded to blame the wildfires on people skeptical of so-called “climate change.”
“This climate crisis is brought to you by climate deniers and venal corporate greed,” Jarmusch declared.
“We’re in a period where these clowns are telling that woke is a negative thing, and I would just like to say it’s time we wake the fuck up,” the director added.
Others, however, are blaming California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and other Democrat leaders for their failure in preparing Los Angeles for the catastrophic wildfires, with many citing the water reservoirs not being refilled.
As reported, wildfires sparked on Tuesday morning and spread quickly due to high winds, forcing residents to evacuate and causing historic destruction to homes, displacing tens of thousands of people.
