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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.
