  1. Anthony, we all hope your residence is not in the path of this beast.
    Stay safe, and best wishes to you, Benji, and all
    • Sorry, Anthony, you are about to learn that climate change is, in fact, a reality. I hope you and your family are safe. Best, former skeptic Charles the DrPH
      [First, how rude. I’m in the middle of this, and have 3 of my five employees losing their homes, friends that have lost their homes, and more, and you want to lecture me. Second locally, high winds, locally low humidity, and sparks from the preliminary suggested cause of “line slap” HAVE NOT ONE DAMN THING TO DO WITH CLIMATE. 

      Third, let me say, you can go straight to digital hell, I don’t have to put up with this crap from you. You’re as bad as Eric Holthaus, seeing climate under every rock and behind every tree. -Anthony]...

      IN 2012 WATTS DISMISSED CLIMATE SCIENTISTS  AS PROPHETS OF DOOM FOR WARNING OF FUTURE WILDFIRES:


      Projecting doom from our current 
      wildfire year using climate models










      From the AGU fall meeting in SFO. Personally, I think wildfire risk (especially in the USA) would be better predicted by observing ocean patterns (ENSO, PDO, AMO etc.) than trying to apply climate models. Further, it seems they are weighting 2012 as being too significant in the scheme of things.  Also, I had to laugh at this statement:
      In contrast with wildfires, agricultural and prescribed fires are less affected by climate, especially drought, during the fire season.
      Gosh, “less affected” how about “not at all”? ...
