No, fire isn’t climate change, but Santa Ana winds nearly year round, that’s climate change. Barely any rain in comparison to a few decades ago, that’s climate change.

[contemplatingoutlander]

The Los Angeles fires won’t affect climate denial. They should.

The disastrous California wildfires are another undeniable sign of the dangers of climate change.

"The hellish fires tearing through the Los Angeles area are a preview of what’s to come if politicians, ideologues and Big Oil continue to ignore climate change. The latest disaster "erupted following a stark shift from wet weather to extremely dry weather — a phenomenon scientists describe as ‘hydroclimate whiplash,’" the Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday. “New research shows these abrupt wet-to-dry and dry-to-wet swings, which can worsen wildfires, flooding and other hazards, are growing more frequent and intense because of human-caused climate change.” [...] The data is the data: “In [a] study, published Thursday in the journal Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, the researchers examined global weather records and found that hydroclimate whiplash events have already grown 31% to 66% since the mid-1900s, and are likely to more than double in a scenario in which the world reaches 3 degrees Celsius, or 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit, of warming.”

Jennifer Rubin does an excellent job of fighting some of the MAGA disinformation about why the LA wildfires are so out of control. More importantly, she brings the focus back to what it should be--the fact that climate change is real and is creating these kinds of disasters. This is a gift 🎁 link so there is no paywall; I encourage you to read the entire article.

Another excellent article about this is from Inside Climate News, which provided the illustration below about how the Santa Ana winds are created and how they have contributed to the wildfire devastation currently happening in LA.

Disneyland's 1955 opening expected 15,000 guests, but counterfeit tickets swelled attendance to over 28,000; some scaled fences using $5 ladders, causing a seven-mile traffic jam on the Santa Ana Freeway.

[quercus-queer]

Let the shit show that is the LA fires be a reminder to everyone that defunding the police, insurance company bullshit, prison abolition (or at the very least rights of prisoners), and climate change are all topics that intersect and the worse each of them gets the worse our collective lives become
