In the case of Santa Ana wind fires, the science admits that climate change does not play any significant role. Here’s what a recent study showed:
▪️100%(!) of Santa Ana fires are caused by human ignition, not natural or climate factors.
▪️With Santa Ana fires, temperature and antecedent precipitation in the prior weeks or months, play a very minor role in areas burned. Burning is primarily dependent on wind speed and the number of human-ignited fires.
▪️In fact, over 75% of Santa Ana wind events produce no fires. Because it’s not climate caused, it takes an ignition event, which, in SoCal, are always human caused.
▪️This is why it’s so insane to blame climate change, as if building more windmills would stop future fires. The fires are human caused, thus the solution needs to be aggressive human intervention in the environment to reduce ignition events and limit available fuel (i.e. forest management).

▪️I was playing around with the new Grokipedia and it already seems much better than Wikipedia (which admittedly isn’t saying much). I was looking for a topic that is politically polarizing that I also knew a lot about, so used “Kenosha unrest shooting” to compare the two.
▪️A key component to the shooting was understanding the broader context behind the Kenosha riots and who Kyle Rittenhouse ended up shooting. Wikipedia simply says that Jacob Blake was shot by police and was paralyzed, thus unrest. Grokipedia gives a much more in-depth account so the reader can see that Blake was a serial criminal with a warrant who had a knife and was resisting arrest while fleeing with children in his car.
▪️When it comes to those who were shot, Wikipedia just gives the names and ages. Grokipedia goes in-depth on each person and about their violent criminal history and mental instability that night.
▪️Part of the left wing mythology over Rittenhouse was removing the context and ...
It really is funny how they cycle from flinging crude insults to pretending they stand for decency and civility.
