What’s more man-made is artificially preventing wildfires so dead brush builds up then you have a far worse fire.
Climate change isn’t causing wild fires. Wild fires are a natural part of nature’s cycle. What’s unnatural is us artificially delaying these cycles, then they come back 10x more intense.
For cases where wild fires are directly caused by people (arson, bad camping practices), these fires are also more intense.
This stuff happens all through the religion of science. I’m not a religious person, but time and time again the scientific community cries out “XYZ is bad/stupid/a relic of religion” then years later there’s some scientific evidence for it and we spend another 5 years pushing back against the scientific community to change from their old ways.
