Oregon State prof blames ‘White Christians’ for West Coast wildfires

• Susan Shaw, a professor at Oregon State, claims that “White Christians” are responsible for the extent of the California fires based on their “denial of climate science.”
• She additionally claims that “the White church is mostly complicit with the intersecting systems of racism and global capitalism that underlie climate change.”

The professor claims that “the intensity and scope of these fires are a result of climate change.” She then attributes the blame for the fires’ potency on “white Christians” given that, as she claims, “many Christians, especially white Christians, have embraced denial of climate science.”
