"global warming therefore caused the recent fires" The only way global warming can cause fires is via lightning, so it didn't cause these fires. Warming does cause fires, regardless of what started them, to become more extreme.

only about 5,000 years of history on Santa Ana winds. I lived in Santa Barbara County and the coastal sand "mountain" range was excellent for growing. You can dig 10' down and it's just fire mulch and sand....centuries of it from natural causes. It also has a lot of diatomaceous earth in places. Too many homes in the fire zone. When we think about it, what a perfectly designed natural mulching system. Chaparral burns, rains cause landslides and mixes it over and over into a wonderful growing ecosystem. en.wikipedia.org

As I learn more about the concept of climate change I'm hearing of the connection between a couple years of higher than average rainfall caused by mmgw, which results in excess shrub and greenery growth which then provides more fuel for fires during a mmgw caused drought year. So droughts are a symptom of climate change, and above average precipitation is as well, which can exacerbate the effects of droughts causing more fires. I think that's why they claim no matter the weather it's root is always global warming, caused by man's co2 of course. All the bases are covered and we are the center of the universe. At least, that's what I'm putting together. Kinda makes sense. I'm wondering why there's never forest fires in the desert, there must be a reason why. Sarcasm.
