Matthew Wielicki's post references a 2007 study, which is almost 20 years out of date compared to current climate data. Here's the latest: https://climateinstitute.ca/news/fact-sheet-wildfires/ https://www.nature.org/en-us/what-we-do/our-priorities/tackle-climate-change/climate-change-stories/extreme-wildfires-are-getting-worse-with-climate-change/ https://www.dal.ca/news/2024/10/23/wildfires-climate-change-human-impact.html Disinformation about the effects of climate change, especially fast-moving wildfires, is dangerous.

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1876788843321725299

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
