I don’t think she’s being condescending. Twitter doesn’t allow for tone, inflection, etc., so the same msg can have 3 diff. meanings for 3 diff. people. I think we all just want to share or gather whatever information we can in order to improve our understanding of these fires.
I have a pretty good understanding of climate change. Hard to know bc it’s Twitter, but it feels like you’re being condescending. I assume you’re smart and informed. I know it may be hard to do since since I’m a woc with a hard-to-pronounce name, but please assume the same of me.

That’s fair. There were just several tweets where I was being told *really* basic things about climate change as if I were a five year old and didn’t already know. It was stranger still bc that was coupled with non-scientific articles from Richard Halsey.

FWIW: “What’s missing in this politicization of wildfire, Miller said, is a vital question: Why is it that at the county, city, town level, we have repeatedly green-lit development in areas that we know are fire zones?“https://lat.ms/2zSFr0y

Perhaps more importantly, were you familiar with California Chaparral before this morning? As I’ve tweeted in years past, they’re... problematic. To say the least. I’m frankly surprised that a scientist would lean on Halsey’s “findings.”

I'm trying to find it, but there an article regarding the way california's drought -> heavy rain cycle had changed/intensified due to climate & was going to lead to more fires and landslides primarily driven by chaparral scrub growth during wet years that would ignite in dry ones
