Did ‘Climate Change’ Just Get a Name and Face? Man Charged with Arson as California Wildfires Burn

Authorities in California are revealing that ‘Climate Change’ has possibly a male and female face. A 60-year-old woman has already been charged with arson in Ventura. Today, the Los Angeles District Attorney announced three arson counts for a 39-year-old man suspecting of setting blazes in Azusa. Jose Carranza-Escobar faces up to nine years behind bars if convicted.

Here’s video of the press conference and his arrest. (WATCH)

JUST IN: The L.A. District Attorney announces three arson charges for Jose Carranza-Escobar. He could face up to 9 years in prison.

The police in Azusa arrested the homeless man late Friday for starting a brush fire in Pioneer Park. The flames were quickly extinguished.

Twenty-four people have perished in the California wildfires. Property damage is at least $200 billion. Many posters say a maximum nine-year sentence is a joke.

9 years seems a little low

Does “up to 9 years” in LA translate to community service?

9 yrs? People have been murdered. He should be facing the death penalty

People died. Felony murder rule should be in effect.

Not good enough, arson = attempted murder

9 years?? With CA's 2 for 1 prison time he'll be out in 4. This state deserves the leaders and laws it voted for!

Many commenters are laughing at Democrats and their legacy media mouthpieces who’ve tried to blame ‘Climate Change’ for the fires.

I thought they said it was climate change not climate arson

Can you correct this and spell climate change correctly. Thanks!

Is that Climate Changes name?

— Ben Peterson (@jazzfan71) January 14, 2025

What? I thought his name was Climate Change?

Police describe Jose Carranza-Escobar as a homeless man. They have not revealed whether he is an American citizen, a legal visitor or in the country illegally.
