James Woods Tears ‘Ignorant’ Troll Over ‘Climate Change’ Comment Amid Pacific Palisades Wildfire

Woods is one of many people whose homes in the affluent Los Angeles area have been engulfed in flames, forcing them to evacuate.

The actor has shared several updates on social media showing the massive damage while keeping his followers updated on his and his family’s well-being.

Although Woods initially hoped his home would survive the wildfire thanks to sprinkler systems and other fire prevention measures, he later shared online that all “fire alarms” in his home had gone off remotely, indicating the flames had reached his house.

While several on X comforted the actor, one person appeared to troll Woods by highlighting his stance on climate change, implying that this caused the wildfire.

The person wrote: “The irony of James Woods, known for his climate change skepticism, losing his home to the very wildfires linked to climate change in California is striking.”

In a scathing response, Woods said, “This fire is not from ‘climate change’ you ignorant a-hole. That’s because liberal idiots like you elect liberal idiots like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass. One does not understand the first thing about fire management, and the other cannot fill the water reservoirs. #INSTABLOCKER.”

In a follow-up post, Woods added: “I took this last night from our beautiful little home in the Palisades. Now all the fire alarms are going off at once remotely. It tests your soul, losing everything at once I must say.”

He has also hinted that getting insurance support could be a problem, revealing in a tweet that “one of the major insurance companies (sic) canceled all insurance in our neighborhood about four months ago.”

The actor revealed that he and his family evacuated safely

Woods started the updates on the Pacific Palisades wildfire by saying that he and his family are “leaving” the area.

The actor later confirmed that they were safely out of the disaster zone while sharing terrifying pictures of the fire that engulfed the area.

“To all the wonderful people who have reached out to us, thank you for being so concerned. Just letting you know that we were able to evacuate successfully,” Woods said in a post on X.

He added at the time: “I don’t know at the moment if our home is still standing, but unfortunately houses on our little street are not.”

In another post, he thanked the “LA fire and police departments” for stepping up and taking responsibility for the shocking incident.
