    None of that contributed to these fires. They were started by people, regardless of climate change. It is disingenuous to appropriate climate change as the culprit to this and dismiss any responsibility from the leaders of California.

      No it isn’t. Climate change has changed the predicability and severity of weather. It’s established fact. They had a ton of rain months ago, which cause a ton of plants to grow, then, a drought which dried that extra vegetation up. Along with that, they’re receiving 100mph winds.

      To say that is normal there is being disingenuous.

        You have no idea wtf you’re talking about. Look up pyroconvective effects of large fires. Climate change has nothing to do with the extreme winds.

          I don’t need to, I can rely on people that have dedicated their entire lives to studying it, and they agree with each other.

          Also, read the article.

          It’s ok to be wrong. Being wrong is actually really handy - you get to learn something. I understand it’s hard to be vulnerable and admit you are wrong but it does show a lot of character.

          I’d urge you to find a way to do that. You will be the better for it.

      The problem with drought and high winds is that a spark grows into this. There was some 2023 Canada wildfire arson to prove “climate change a hoax”, but it’s the rapid spread that is global warming related, not that sparks are new.
