Climate Change Defamation

[SeattleGriz]

You skipped the homeless guy who lit some of the fires. Wasn't climate change at all.

“Started” being the key word. Some are arson, others are lightning strikes, swathers or discs that strike a rock working a field which produces sparks, trains casting sparks.

According to the Smithsonian, while 84% of fires are human caused, arson is only 18-21% of that number. Are you suggesting the percentage of wildfires caused by arson has gone up significantly? Or maybe it’s all types that have increased with population?

Is it the total number of fires or is it the severity that’s highlighting it more? Are you asserting that wildfires didn’t exist before humans or colonization? Do you think drought, changing winds speeds and directions, humidity, high temperatures don’t contribute to the severity like we saw in LA or Spokane?

I'm exerting your story of climate change causing the fires isn't supported by facts, yet again.

So you’re actually denying that climate change doesn’t increase the chance or severity of fires?

Okey dokey.
