Even if that were true, which is very questionable for certain areas, does it matter? While climate change can lead to an increase in wildfires in certain areas such as Alaska, the impact of climate change is also felt strongly within how fires spread and how easily they can be contained. Even if a fire is started by humans, these fires often wouldn't be much of an issue in the absence of the right climate conditions.
So what does the science say about the impact of climate change on wildfires?

Fixed.

That's the fundamental problem with this whole "climate emergency" stuff. Scientists announce if we don't do X by year Y, we'll see problem Z. Humans institute 1/4 of X by year Y+5, but problem Z never occurs. It's classic alarmism, and it is directly harmful to the environment because it kills the credibility of science around the subject. |
Without citing scientists who are making these claims, it is difficult to take you seriously. Tell me, who is saying these things? Which peer reviewed papers? And were these opinions expressed the scientific consensus at the time, or were these fringe opinions?
