If you want evidence of widespread upheaval, just look at California's weather data over the past few decades. It's consistently gotten hotter and dryer, causing more and more fires that are killing hundreds of people per year and destroying entire towns. It's not about believing in climate change, it's about *understanding* it. It's very real.

Blaming climate change for California wildfires is a neat way to deflect the real cause: forest mismanagement.

See https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/decades-mismanagement-l...

From 2018:

> During its review, the Commission found that California’s forests suffer from neglect and mismanagement, resulting in overcrowding that leaves them susceptible to disease, insects and wildfire.

Yep, and when I read those kinds of claims I think "this is what advocates for specific interventions around climate change believe is causation, therefore, they don't know what they're talking about"

I took the time to read the PDF you linked to and in terms of actual evidence all I found was a some hand-wavy article by a German reinsurance company. Surely there is some better evidence than this?
