“By fueling the growth of plants that become kindling, carbon dioxide is driving an increase in the severity and frequency of wildfires, according to a UC Riverside study.”

Bad plants! Bad C02! Except it’s rather tortured logic given the historical record revealing a vast trend in acreage burn reductions over the long haul. Not sure why. Never mind, crop yields are spectacularly higher too for the very same increase in C02, feeding the world and reducing starvation heroically! By extension of this logic all creatures on land and sea must be better fed too. Imagine a climate-crisis-freaker realizing that?
Who knew? So carbon dioxide is just like fentanyl for trees. Makes them high and burning up.
