Nope. I have to rebuke these false arguments every time they spring up like weeds on threads like these. In California it was absolutely not climate change that caused the worst fires the state has ever seen during covid. It was Governor Newsom who slashed the fire fighting budget and then lied about it[1]. In addition he closed a large percentage of firecamps that use prisoners to help fight fires making a already bad situation much worse[2]. In addition serial arsonists spurred by either severe lockdowns or other factors contributed to many of California's biggest fires[3]. But don't trust my comments, look to a actual scientist(USGS) to explain whats really going on [4].
