Zeke Hausfather Zeke Lunder ~ The Lookout There is a seemingly pervasive desire, in many circles, to be overly reductive when it comes to complex topics surrounding climate change--which is challenging & frustrating to deal with as a climate scientist-communicator. Sometimes, we really do have to embrace complexity.

Zeke Lunder ~ The Lookout Dr Thomas Smith π₯π Zeke Hausfather I've talked to quite a few ecologists about this, and the same issue applies here: yes, both forest policy are related fire deficits are very important, but we simply would not be seeing fires of the extreme intensity required to kill entire groves of them absent climate change.
Zeke Lunder ~ The Lookout Dr Thomas Smith π₯π Zeke Hausfather That may well be the case, but absent climate change, we simply would not be seeing level of aridity that supports the kind of exceptionally extreme burning conditions we saw in 2020 southern Sierra fires. There are likely multiple "necessary, but not sufficient" conditions here.
