I don’t even know where to start with the latest bullshit from the Denier-in-Chief about the West Coast fires.
There’s no point in debunking when it’s not a misunderstanding, but outright lies and refusal to observe reality.

“It’ll start getting cooler.”
Why yes, that’s called “winter.” But it won’t get as cold as it used to get. And then later, it’ll be this thing called “summer” when it’s hot again, but it’ll be hotter than it used to get.
Seasons (& weather!) don’t disprove climate change.

“[Other countries] don’t have problems like these.”
Fuck offfffff, Australia’s latest fire season burnt over 46 MILLION ACRES & were still burning in January of THIS YEAR. 2020 started in flames!
BC’s worst fires in 13,000+ years were in 2017: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg23531392-100-fighting-to-breathe-in-the-face-of-canadas-wildfire-emergency/

As for blaming it on state-level forest management, that’s entire layers of bullshit starting with “That’s not how this works!” continuing into “But most of the problem forests are privately managed!” and ending up at “THAT’S A FEDERAL RESPONSIBILITY YOU NITWIT.”

“I don’t think science knows, actually “
This right here? This is the problem of assuming that everyone is you and that your lack of knowledge is universal.
There’s a lot of things I personally don’t know. Doesn’t mean no one knows, or I can’t learn if I earnestly ask for help.

My tolerance for willfully building a worse future is absolutely shot.
None of this needed to happen. Not the pandemic deathcount; not the weather disasters increasing in intensity, duration, & frequency; not the apocalyptic skies.
These are consequences of our choices.

Q: Is that specific fire right there, that one, specifically attributable to climate change?
A: That’s a stupid question. It’s not actionable, relevant, or scientific. It’s rhetorical gameplay to dodge facing larger patterns that are actually useful in disaster risk reduction.

My ambition is to live. I want you to live, too. I’d also like a half-assed decent quality of life for as many of us as we can manage.
It’s never too late to make things less bad. But we can also always make things worse. It’s our choice.
Science doesn’t care which we choose.
