The reason California is "up in flames" is quite simple, but it requires one to be AWAKE, not WOKE. The wackadoodle politicians have created a political and legal environment that shuns and disallows common sense fire prevention activities such as controlled burning of underbrush that would occur naturally except humans tend to put out fires of the "unplanned" or uncontrolled variety. As such, controlled burnings are essential to the health of the forest and to diminish the fire hazard.
You are correct about one thing; the cause of the fires is man-made, but it has more to do with fire prevention than it does climate.
