#Wildfire season is #Disinformation season! 🔥💬

I debunked very common but misleading arguments designed to deny any impact of #ClimateChange. Every year they keep coming back - with catastrophic fires near #Bordeaux and #Madrid, this year is no different.

Find here the original blog post for @Volksverpetzer@digitalcourage.social (in German, if interested simply use a website translator): https://volksverpetzer.de/analyse/waldbrand-fakes-erkennen-widerlegen/

Here are the main points summarized in English:

  1. Of course air #temperature has an impact on wildfires. Yes, hot days will not result in "spontaneous self-ignition" of a forest, but that was never the point. Bringing that up is a classic straw-man fallacy, and using it against climate change impacts is a logical mistake.

  2. #Arson is not an argument against the impact of climate change. Global warming impacts both natural and human-caused ignitions and makes resulting fires more difficult to control.

  3. Many regions across the globe are experiencing a #trend towards increased wildfire activity. However, those who refer to the decline in globally summed up burned area over the last 20 years to say otherwise ignore important context and draw an invalid conclusion from the data.

As I predicted in 2023 - It needs to be stressed that institutions commonly linked to systematic #disinformation about climate change are starting to include wildfire in their repertoire and misleading arguments will likely continue to spread and evolve. It is good to check before sharing!
