In a 2021 appearance on the PetroNerds podcast, Wright criticized mainstream media outlets for drawing a connection between wildfires and warming. Wildfires are "a major thing in the news now," he said. 'It's climate change. It's climate change.' ... The short answer: It is not.
In the summer of 2023, as smoke from Canadian wildfires engulfed the East Coast, Wright wrote on LinkedIn that "the hype over wildfires is just hype to justify" harmful climate policies.
Sen. Alex Padilla (D-California) stated, 'of course' he plans to question Wright about his views on wildfires, pointing out that climate change is real and having devastating impacts.
