California is not a good example of wildfires caused by climate change. California is an excellent example of how not letting natural fires burn over the last few decades has created unhealthy forests full of dead tree/bushes that are now powderkegs waiting to go off.
California, especially things like redwoods, evolved to NEED a cleansing fire every so often. THAT is our natural climate and we have been fighting against THAT for years.
This isn’t “climate change”. This is “the climate isn’t what we humans want so we tried to change it and now we’re suffering the effects of that.”

There’s a significant impact from the higher temperatures.
It’s not just the management history, though that doesn’t help.
