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/…

Now the real interesting thing about this is that it's never snowed in the Twin Cities on Halloween before.
Ruh ro. 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. #mnwx
