Climate Change Fires

Some political figures and commentators are claiming tragic fires around the world are a manifestation of man-caused climate change. Doubtless, some of the events are caused in some way by people, whether through accidents or arson or even failure to clean up dry underbrush. These factors are indeed man-caused or neglectful errors, but that fact does NOT amount to proof of man-caused climate change. These fires may ultimately contribute ever so slightly to a global rise in temperature (a tiny fraction of a single degree over a century) but not enough to have any meaningful impact on life on earth. These holocausts are horrific, but the damage done is localized to small areas relative to the size of the world.
