Popular misunderstanding. The truth is that climate change-induced droughts actually decrease wildfires here. https://twitter.com/the_inkmonster/status/920360303170162688 …

It depends on what time frame you're looking at. Short term, drought will bring more fires, long term there is less vegetation to burn.

If you have any evidence that droughts mean more wildfires in the short term in the LA-area, I’d love to see it/read it!

I don't have any specific evidence but less moisture = drier chaparral = potential for more wildfires. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-06869-7 …

Thank you! Will definitely read. If this applies to LA brushfires, it would go against everything I’ve read/heard so far... which I welcome.
