Los Angeles is gearing up to ban wood-frame construction

That’s a shame. From a climate perspective you can’t beat building with wood.

Stuff like this makes the whole movement hard to take seriously.

This is funded by the concrete industry and the arguments are about fire safety. I'm not seeing any climate arguments?

Yes, GP is pointing out that the climate argument is missing in the movement.

What movement, the concrete industry lobbying movement?

"The movement" isn't exactly driven by Big Concrete to begin with though. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that there are a lot of people and businesses in the world that don't give a damn about climate change. If there weren't, we wouldn't be in this mess. "The movement" is trying to counter them.
