Except these fires weren’t due to climate change…
It was as bad as it was because of climate change, just like with all fires now. The setting itself has simply changed too much for it not to be the case.
If this is good faith, you gotta update your understanding, man.
Unfortunately, that’s not true. People are lacking any understanding of fires and also the historicity of large-scale, calamitous fires in the past, pre-industrial revolution and before any significant human impact to climate. These past fires exhibited the same characteristics as seen with the LA firestorm. Climate change did not exacerbate the fires seen here. To suggest so not only ignores a rational understanding of how large-scale fires can literally create their own weather in addition to incorrectly placing the blame on an unforeseen force rather than the cause of direct human activity (physically starting a fire) and gross governmental negligence. Climate change caused the defunding, which lead to no water for hydrants? People out here no longer even using their brains for critical thinking anymore (ノ°益°)ノ
Wow. You are mind-blowingly ignorant.
Arrogant people are typically also ignorant.
Still can’t discredit me with facts, simply name-calling. Classic.
There was too little rain this year which made the fires much worse.
Blaming it on climate change seems like a cop-out for the egregious failure and oversight by the local/state government.
Sure snowflake, 90mph wind gusts after months of drought conditions is the government’s fault. It’s not like the entire western US and Canada have seen increasing red flag conditions for years which are only getting worse.
See my other comments. You evidently lack any knowledge about fires. Understand how firestorms work before commenting like an ignoramous. Otherwise, detail for me how climate change caused the “90mph winds”, which aren’t anything unique here.
Blaming it on local/state government seems like a cop-out for the egregious failure and oversight by world governments and the fossil fuel industry.
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.
