is that really that relevant? according to the climate change people this is just going to keep happening, and not just in California but in Washington and Oregon and across Canada and who knows how many other places. This on top of larger storm surges, heat waves, flooding, drought, heating and acidification of the seas, loss of sea ice, etc. All things that we have empirical evidence for.
It only makes sense to stress this question if you reject that premise entirely, and think that if we just get California to to better managing its underbrush, then this whole thing goes away.
otherwise the causality is a bit moot? except maybe it opens the discussion about how much we can afford to spend to clear brush given that this is going to keep being a problem.
