[Die Welt] Natural disasters inevitably trigger the climate change industry to profit from them. Politicians, activists and the media are now also blaming global warming for the fires in the Los Angeles region. But the claim is untenable.

It is true that studies show that the affected region must expect more droughts as a result of climate change. But as one of the authors of these studies, climatologist Patrick Brown, analyzes, other influences dominate the forest fire events, including poor forest management and the increasing number of people who trigger forest fires.

The current fires are unlikely to have anything to do with global warming: The “moderate drought” in the affected region, according to the weather service, is normal, as is the second meteorological disaster ingredient, strong downslope winds from the northeast.

The so-called Santa Ana winds are fanning the fires and causing them to spread rapidly. In the course of climate change, however, the winds are likely to weaken because the mainland of the USA is heating up faster than the oceans - and the pressure difference causing the winds would therefore decrease.

If strong downdrafts prevail, all that is needed is arson. “In the Southern California region, 100 percent of all fires during Santa Ana winds are the result of human ignition, intentional or accidental,” write forest fire researchers in the scientific journal ‘Science Advances’.

California is wildfire country; in fact, the vegetation needs fire to thrive. Although the state has experienced huge fires in recent years, the historical classification takes away their peculiarity: studies show that more than a hundred years ago, fires often burned just as much and far more intensely.

“California's forests are suffering from mismanagement”, wrote an expert commission in 2018, calling for the government to change its strategy. Donald Trump also recently complained about a deliberate lack of firefighting water in California.

In a 2018 study, researchers from the University of Berkeley also complained about wrong policies. “We are not at the mercy of climate change”, summarizes co-author Van Butsic, ‘there are known practices that can be successfully applied’.
