CNN Publishes Blatantly False Claim That Wildfires Are Linked To Fossil Fuel Use

cnn headlineA May 16, 2023, article by CNN reporter Rachel Ramirez titled, “More than a third of the area charred by wildfires in Western North America can be traced back to fossil fuels, scientists find” claims that fossil fuel companies are directly responsible for a third of wildfires in the Western U.S. and Canada.

This claim is easily disproven by real-world data. Data show no correlation between wildfire acreage burned and CO2 produced from the burning of fossil fuel products. [emphasis, links added]


The CNN article references a questionable study from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) – a politically oriented climate activist organization that by their own admission says: “We use science to make change happen.”

For the UCS science is not a tool to produce knowledge, but rather a lever for political change.

[LMAO]

We are having a dry spring after a record snowfall winter. Wildfires are a natural part of the landscape.

So, if we didn’t have fossil fuels, we would not have wildfires? This is how absurd the climate change religion is becoming.
