Does climate change play an unspoken role in this? Is California is an increasingly unstable place from an ecology perspective?

Does climate change play an unspoken role in this? Is California is an increasingly unstable place from an ecology perspective?
- presentation 6y agoThere are many negative things about living in California, but I’ve never heard anyone say that an unstable ecology is one of them.
- gyc 6y agoI don't know about unstable ecology, but I'm kind of tired of the yearly weeks of forest fires causing dangerous air quality here in the bay area.
- proverbialbunny 6y agoActually, it's one of the most commonly cited reasons. One of the more common reasons people are leaving CA is retirement. In the 90s and thousands, it was pretty popular for people to move to Sacrament (Granite Bay and Auburn) to retire. Today it's Tahoe and out of state. People love to retire in the forest, but if it's going to light your house on fire, people will look elsewhere.
- daniel-thompson 6y agoTo be clear, climate change affects Texas too - it gets hotter here every year. https://www.keranews.org/2019-08-22/austin-makes-top-10-list-of-u-s-cities-with-the-greatest-increase-in-hot-days https://www.keranews.org/2019-08-22/austin-makes-top-10-list... And unfortunately we have our share of deadly wildfires as well (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastrop_County_Complex_Fire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastrop_County_Complex_Fire), although thankfully not to the same degree that California does.
