From ClimateRealism<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An article in The Los Angeles Times <\/em>(LA Times) published on September 4, 2023 makes the claim<\/a> that a study by a Berkeley think tank proves \u201cClimate change has ratcheted up the risk of explosive wildfire growth in California by 25%.\u201d This is false. The study ignores other more important factors, and real-world data shows the moisture in the regions of California most affected by wildfires has actually increased, rather than decreased as the study claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LA Times<\/em> cites a Nature<\/em> study titled \u201cClimate warming increases extreme daily wildfire growth risk in California<\/a>.\u201d In the abstract of the paper the authors make an important admission: \u201cSome portion of the change in wildfire behavior is attributable to anthropogenic climate warming, but formally quantifying this contribution is difficult because of numerous confounding factors and because wildfires are below the grid scale of global climate models.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also say: \u201cWe find that the influence of anthropogenic warming on the risk of extreme daily wildfire growth varies appreciably on a fire-by-fire and day-by-day basis, depending on whether or not climate warming pushes conditions over certain thresholds of aridity, such as 1.5\u2009kPa of vapor-pressure deficit and 10% dead fuel moisture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study fails on these two points because later in the study they cite global climate models using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to tease out relationships that can\u2019t be accounted for in the grid-scale climate models to produce predictions. Models, and especially AI enhanced results are not actual data \u2013 they are projections based on the assumptions built into the models and the AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The models fail to account for the myriad confounding factors the authors themselves previously acknowledged, such as the increase in arson caused wildfires. In fact, the word \u201carson\u201d is not mentioned anywhere in the study nor is there any detailed discussion of the actual contributions to increased wildfires of the so-called \u201cconfounding factors\u201d in the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironically, the answer lies in an LA Times article from 2021<\/a> which stated: \u201cElectrical equipment accounted for about 12% and lightning 6%. But arson was also a factor, sparking about 9% of fires in 2019, and roughly 8% to 10% of the state\u2019s wildfires in any given year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authors also ignored a 2017 study<\/a> in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science<\/em> (PNAS) which looked at actual data instead of computer models and concluded that in the United States, humans accounted for 84% of wildfires:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our analysis of two decades of government agency wildfire records highlights the fundamental role of human ignitions. Human-started wildfires accounted for 84% of all wildfires, tripled the length of the fire season, dominated an area seven times greater than that affected by lightning fires, and were responsible for nearly half of all area burned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A second problematic aspect of the study relates to their use of, \u201cvapor-pressure deficit and 10% dead fuel moisture.\u201d Leaving aside the study\u2019s use of AI enhanced modeling to sift for correlations between small scale moisture changes and wildfire, the researchers also used a novel and little-known approach to link the so-called drought and heat to fossil fuel emissions: Vapor Pressure Deficit<\/a> (VPD). The VPD is similar to, but not the same as, the more commonly known relative humidity<\/a> seen in daily weather reports.  In layman\u2019s terms, VPD measures how much water is in the air versus the maximum amount of water vapor that can exist in that air. This atmospheric metric is hardly ever used. Climate Realism has refuted<\/a> the use of VPD to understand drought and wildfire previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most egregious of all, the\u00a0Nature<\/em>\u00a0study itself ignored actual published data about VPD drying. The 2020 paper,\u00a0Plant responses to rising vapor pressure deficit<\/a>, examines actual data for the western U.S., specifically in the mountains of California, and shows VPD has\u00a0decreased,\u00a0<\/em>indicating more moisture. These areas show VPD values that indicate more moisture, rather than less, and\u00a0completely contradict<\/em>\u00a0the claims of drying made in the\u00a0Nature<\/em>\u00a0study. This is seen in Figure 1 below, with both the U.S. and an expanded magnified panel showing the western area of the study. The green colors indicate wetter conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure 1 \u2013 Figure 1A from the paper Plant responses to rising vapor pressure deficit, magnified and annotated by A. Watts to show the Western U.S. and Canada regions cited in the Nature paper. Green areas in California and Western Canada indicate wetter conditions, yet these are areas where the biggest wildfires occurred.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not only are the authors of the Nature<\/em> study ignoring the easily available and contradictory VPD evidence in their paper, but they also used global scale climate models to support their assertion that climate change induced VPD deficits are driving wildfires in California, while at the same time admitting the models aren\u2019t suitable for purpose at that scale. Instead, they use AI to tease out fire projections they believe<\/em> are there but really aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example of the overreliance on models (and now AI) in climate research, instead of actual data. Models are not data, nor do they define reality as actual data does. It is shameful that science and the\u00a0LA Times<\/em>\u00a0present model outputs as such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
