Right. What I said. This is the overwhelming effect - fuel.

No, you said, "This is 100% a fuel issue. "

You didn't leave yourself a lot of wiggle room

Unfortunately you contradicted yourself with that last link which says in the first paragraph, "climate change is increasing the heat that drives wildfires."

There is likely an interesting conversation to be had on this subject but since climate change is such a partisan issue it probably belongs in the Politics forum.

After 25 years in the fire service, I can tell you that it's not caused by 100% of anything. It's a multi headed hydra. So many reasons and causes. Some related, some not.
It would actually be solvable if it was 100% caused by 1 thing.
No good answers, and both sides of the argument have very valid points.

If true - which we don't know due to academic fraud - it has some effect. I am betting it's 100% fuel since academic fraud is rampant.

A fire just started here in SLO about an hour ago, on the hill directly behind the high school. Evacuating that area now.
