During some of the worst hours in Camp Fire, which in 2018 burned the town of Paradise, California to the ground, the fire was growing so fast it ate up 10,000 acres within just 90 minutes.
Wildfires like the Camp Fire that intensify and spread enormously within a single day, hour, or even minutes, keep fire experts up at night. Now a new study, published Wednesday in Nature, uses a machine-learning model to show that climate change has nudged the risk of fast-spreading fires up by about 25% on average in California. That's compared to a time before humans heated up Earth's atmosphere by burning vast amounts of fossil fuels.

Not to mention the Beatles that kill trees from Alaska down to the southern tip of the USA are not allowed to be cut down because of the Green Tree Huggers and I just adds to kindling
You have people in Hawaii who weren't allowed to trim the wild grasses and the shrubs around the power lines yet every time there's a massive fire, they blame it on climate change when a lot of times it's bad mismanagement by man not man raising the temperature!
Some even left us were even calling it colonialism. Anything to exploit a situation.

50 years ago, they were predicting an Ice Age by now.

Wait till you try to get an electric car through a blizzard and you find out that your distance or mileage is limited because half the power of your vehicle is being used to heat the battery and to heat the occupants. President biden, leftist Democrats wanting to get rid of the internal combustion engine by 2035 and the science of stupid!
