California Wildfires: not global warming, but “business as usual” for nature Watts Up With That?
Which proves what, exactly?

That wild fires, unchecked burn more acreage than wildfires which mankind fights?

I don't doubt that for a moment.

I do NOT think one can pin the wild fires in CA on Global warming except in the sense that everything is the result of the state of the glaobal climate.

One can easily pin EVERYTHING that happens regarding the weather on every inch of the earth on Gobal warming or global NOT warming if you believe that's the true state of affairs.

Because it is impossible for anything to happen locally, which is not caused by what is happening globally.

So what that means is that if CA had had the wettest year in history and NO wild fires, that ALSO would have been the result of the overall state of the world's climate.

Make sense?

One cannot pick and choose events and say they are the result of the global climate, but something else is not.

All weather events on the global are the result of the global climate, be they good or bad
