I like fish. Wildlife infectious disease & structured decision making post doc @UMassAmherst and @USGS. Tweets my own & don't reflect the view of my employer.

There is rarely, if ever, a singular cause of complex disasters--so don't be fooled by disingenuous "straw man" binaries! For wildfire, encroachment into high risk areas, historical land management, & climate all matter (to contextually varying degrees). https://t.co/U6xvt6z73h

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

TL;DR version: #ClimateChange, while certainly not only relevant factor, has indeed increased risk of extreme CA #wildfires. The main reason is increasing temperatures & atmospheric "thirstiness," but increased precipitation "whiplash"/seasonal shifts is also an emerging factor.

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

This exact temporal sequence of events, as observed in southern California in 2024, is something we use as a prototypical example of practical consequences of wet-to-dry "hydroclimate whiplash" events--which we show are increasing due to #ClimateChange. https://t.co/OMmihfAENg
