>> wildfires become a certainty.
This is wrong as a stand-alone statement, and specifically in this case. The fire appears started by an arsonist, and the dry, hot wind was "a contributing factor" in making it much worse.
>> That's like saying rain is only a contributing factor for flooding
There are lots of places where abnormal amounts of rain don't cause flooding. Very important: geography, flood mitigation, environment & ecology, emergency response...
- marcosdumay 1y ago> The fire appears started by an arsonist There were plenty of wildfires on the region last year. And that one you are talking about wasn't a wildfire. > There are lots of places where abnormal amounts of rain don't cause flooding. Yes, and we still say that rain causes flooding. Just like it's perfectly fine to say the weather causes wildfires. That doesn't mean it can't be controlled. And it doesn't also mean we can control extreme events (we can't, in either case).
