My statement was merely you had to throw in the old "climate change" plays a role.
That maybe the cause down the road, although i have the uptmost faith in our brillant engineers that it won't. But not every major weather event is linked to climate change.
For the record, climate change is real, but solvable.

Climate change plays a role. Most of the worst California fire seasons by area burned have been since 2017, and I don't think that's a coincidence.

And if you want an explanation as to how climate change increases both the frequency and severity of fires, it's a simple google search away.

El Nino also plays a part, as it did in 2023. But land use changes and aridification of once lush moist areas is likely the top factor.
