I agree that there are too many people.
We live on land. Land like the continental 48 has lakes, rivers, aquifers, ponds, groundwater etc. Every year the addition is the rain and snow. Every year the subtraction is plants, animals, birds, reptiles, insects consuming fresh water, what drains back into the oceans, and what humans consume. When humans consume more and more and more of that, it reaches a point where the "subtraction" exceeds the "addition" and then the entire water ecosystem starts to go down. Plants start going dry.
Fires are not about 2F of "warming" (that you and I can agree to disagree about)
Fires are about WATER. Wet plants do not burn. DRY PLANTS BURN. Never before in Hawaiian history had an entire island burned like Maui just did. Hawaii has not warmed at all and was not having a warm summer. What change in Hawaii in the past 130 years is a 15 fold increase in humans, and an even bigger increase in the human consumption of Maui's fresh water supply....
