You're saying that the wildfires are 100% caused by heat and drought? I think you should have a look at the huge heap of evidence pointing to poor forest management being the true culprit. It's a fact of nature that forests WILL burn and the more humans interfere with nature, the more unintended consequences we'll cause. There are plenty of natural ignition sources and forests are equipped to deal with relatively low intensity fires. Here's just one example: https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckdevore/2019/02/25/wildfires-caused-by-bad-environmental-policy-are-causing-california-forests-to-be-net-co2-emitters/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckdevore/2019/02/25/wildfire...

- emodendroket 5y agoNo, nothing is ever "100% caused by" any one thing, but it seems dishonest to act like there's no discernible link between record wildfires and record heat and drought.
- salawat 5y agoIt's equally dishonest to discount the positive mitigation of a reasonable fire prevention budget and burying/maintaining infrastructure. Especially when the presence of Fraud is taken into account. The Climate may be famously closed to negotiation, but it doesn't mean human artifice need exacerbate the problem through avoiding doing necessary work.
