Why the LA Wildfires Have Little to With Drought or Climate Change
Some climate activists and media outlets are claiming the drought or climate change were major contributors to the recent wildfires around Los Angeles (see sample below)
These claims can easily be shown to be false.
Drought had little impact on the LA fires.
Climate Change had little impact.
Let me provide the facts below.
The Fuels
The vegetative fuels for the fires were predominantly light fuels such as grasses and range vegetation. To illustrate, consider the area where the Palisades fire started (below).
