I don’t have any objections to focusing on polluters other than wildfires, but as someone who lives in a place where “dramatic” feels too much an understatement when describing the impact of the severity, frequency, and longevity of wildfires and their smoke over recent years… it’s not really up for debate. This is a real, significant climate change impact, and it’s devastating for air quality. It may very well be and stay highly localized, but that’s totally consistent with climate change predictions: different local climates of course will experience different local changes. But it’s not turning anything into a climate change debate to recognize that some places which used to seldom or never have serious impact to air quality from wildfires but now quite do. It’s definitely a change in climate (hotter, drier weather over longer periods) that leads to longer, more severe fire seasons. And they’re definitely happening… again, even if just in some locales.
