Human-caused climate change. For more than half a century, scientists have been warning of the growing threat of climate change. The National Climate Assessments required by federal law have regularly warned that worsening fires were a likely future consequence of accelerating climate change. I’m not arguing any individual disaster has been caused by climate change, though the science is strengthening on that as well. More and more scientists are speaking out about the connections between these disasters and climate change.
