> Yes, Climate Change Did Influence Australia’s Unprecedented Bushfires (scientificamerican.com) THIS is a good example of why people don't trust scientists or global warming. The narky Yes, is based on a pre-print, this isn't even published, I assume not peer reviewed yet. Good to see even the journals no long believe in peer review which they base their authority on. The first paragraph has NOTHING to do with the study, but lets toss it in with no scientific backing. > Such an extreme fire season is at least 30 percent more likely because of global warming And 30% more means the 3 in a 100 year event now happens 4 times every 100 years. Which is not great but not scary either. It's still something we 100% have to mange and deal with, which we can. Scientific American needs to scare people to get their clicks, and they are misrepresenting numbers to do that. This is not how to do real science.
