      Myth #1: the wildfires stop at the border. Truth: By definition, maps based on US federal data don't show fires outside US borders; but it doesn't mean they don't exist. Here's a US map (left) and 🇨🇦 map (right). We do a bit better with recognizing we're part of a continent 😁pic.twitter.com/c0tarKb3bv

          Myth #2: as there's less wildfires in Canada than the US *at the moment* that somehow proves climate change isn't real Truth: Other times there will be more: that's weather, a single day, week or year. Climate is the long-term trend over decades. Watch:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnMJedLHjpY …

          Myth #3: wildfire can be EITHER arson or climate change but not both. Truth: most wildfires in the lower 48 states are human-ignited but they are burning *much greater area* due to hotter, drier conditions + vegetation as a result of climate change.pic.twitter.com/gWW8LDUj4H

          Prof. Katharine Hayhoe Retweeted Erin Ross

          Myth #4: the only reason wildfires are burning more area is because of poor forest management (and "raking" would fix that) Truth: Forest management absolutely plays a role; but "raking" doesn't work and climate change is making it a lot worse.

          This is a good question with a longish answer. But the short answer is no. The long answer (thread) Forest management practices (which have nothing to do with 'raking forests') have absolutely contributed to the size and intensity of wildfires over the last 100 or so years. https://twitter.com/MJT36165368/status/1305047597690822659 …

          Myth #5: those alarmists claim climate change is responsible for things that have always happened naturally Truth: climate change is - according to the US military - a threat multiplier. It takes naturally-occurring events and makes them WORSE. Watch:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT4aZzjbl3w …

          Finally, for a thorough review of the myths about how climate isn't changing, or it is but it's the sun or volcanoes or natural cycles, see:https://twitter.com/KHayhoe/status/1032652591841386497?s=20 …

          When we see climate changing, we don't automatically jump on the human bandwagon, case closed. No, we rigorously examine and test all other reasons why climate could be changing: the sun, volcanoes, natural cycles, even something we don't know yet: could they be responsible? ..

          And for a global perspective on wildfire--since, as our 2009 PLoS paper showed, climate change may actually decrease fire in some ecosystems and that's not necessarily a good thing either (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0005102 … )--read @carbonbrief's excellent explainer:https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-how-climate-change-is-affecting-wildfires-around-the-world …

          Here's an addition on the arson myth - according to CalFire, 7% of California's large fires were known to be deliberate. The rest were primarily accidental human ignitions + some lightning and some unknown.https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/How-California-s-biggest-wildfires-ignited-13907244.php …

          Myth #6: the wildfires and/or the smoke and/or climate change is being caused by a secret military experiment Truth: The only geoengineering happening right now is at miniscule scales and is well-documented. There are no secret expts.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7Bfr2Vzxbs …

          "We do a bit better with recognizing we're part of a continent"—I can tell I'm watching something Canadian because they call an issue "North American" when it concerns both the U.S. and Canada.
