Focusing on climate change is a divisive and unproven political point. If you actually want to solve the problem, focus on bipartisan solutions. Nuclear-powered desalination plants, for example. Repairing currently-existing reservoirs like the Santa Ynez Reservoir in Palisades (the major fire) that's been unrepaired since 2011 because the Democratic Party is no longer capable of building big things. The Democratic Party can't even build things that aren't controversial like changing landscapes back to rain-absorbing forests and natural areas to undo the damage of concrete rivers like the Los Angeles river that do not retain water and immediately dump rainstorm water back into the ocean. Another bipartisan thing: Beef up firefighting personnel and equipment, unlike Los Angeles's mayor who already cut the firefighting budget by 20 million, proposed another 40 millino dollar cut just before the fires, and California Governor Gavin Newsom who's overall increased firefighting statewide since his term began, but actually decreased funding in the last year.
