Original Note:
This post falsely claims LA fires aren't linked to climate change, focusing solely on arson. Climate change fuels wildfire intensity through drought, heat, and dry conditions, regardless of ignition source. No evidence here supports the arson claim. https://www.fire.ca.gov/media/4jucfj0d/factsheets_climatechange.pdf https://www.noaa.gov/education/resource-collections/climate/wildfires-and-climate-change https://www.fs.usda.gov/managing-land/fire/climate-change https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-climate-change-is-fueling-western-wildfires/
