I've been a volunteer firefighter in Australia for 25 years, my father and his father were.. the understanding that wildfires do this is old, I remember my grandfather talking about big wildfires in his day creating their own weather.
I've been noticing in the media over the last ~5 years this narrative that climate change is causing this 'horrifying new phenomena' .. no. sorry. (PS: not a climate change skeptic, totally agree with the science, just not the media in this instance)
- Swenrekcah 5y agoClimate change does not create the concept of a hurricane or wildfire, nor any other physical phenomenon. Nobody has said that. What it does is induce extreme phenomena more often and in more locations. Edit: by nobody I mean scientists and knowledgeable people. TV talking heads misunderstand and misrepresent everything all the time, so undoubtedly they’ll have done the same with Climate Change.
- dragonsky67 5y agoUnfortunately the talking heads are what most people listen to. When they get it wrong, it allows the general public to claim the science is getting it wrong.
