There is rarely, if ever, a singular cause of complex disasters--so don't be fooled by disingenuous "straw man" binaries! For wildfire, encroachment into high risk areas, historical land management, & climate all matter (to contextually varying degrees). theguardian.com/environment/…

TL;DR version: #ClimateChange, while certainly not only relevant factor, has indeed increased risk of extreme CA #wildfires. The main reason is increasing temperatures & atmospheric "thirstiness," but increased precipitation "whiplash"/seasonal shifts is also an emerging factor.

This exact temporal sequence of events, as observed in southern California in 2024, is something we use as a prototypical example of practical consequences of wet-to-dry "hydroclimate whiplash" events--which we show are increasing due to #ClimateChange. nature.com/articles/s43017-0…

I’m really proud of this work with @USGS @paulchafeecross and so many others without accounts here: what can @usfws do about #ChronicWastingDisease on the National Elk Refuge? And what are the potential socioeconomic consequences? pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2024/5119/…

European model is playing tricks with Halloween forecast.
Changes rain to a heavy wet snow for E MN & W WI.
Not sure this is real yet but the weather maps are getting a little scary for Halloween.
