Hey, remember this? It wasn’t that long ago, just May 4th

Climate change is why New Mexico’s wildfire season started early this year

The smoke emerges, like a white veil draped across the sky, on the drive up from Albuquerque to this picturesque city of 84,000.

Historically, New Mexico’s wildfire season begins in May or June, but this year, wildfires sprung up in the drought-parched New Mexican desert in April. By April 23, more than 20 wildfires were burning in 16 of the state’s 33 counties. Last week, two of them merged into one megafire, the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire. By Sunday, the New York Times reported, it had burned nearly 104,000 acres — more than 160 square miles — and smoke from it and another wildfire had blanketed most of northern New Mexico.

There’s no shortage of climate cultists linking/blaming ‘climate change’ to the New Mexico fires, just like when other wildfires happen, but, just like with those other fires, we find out the reality

So, not climate apocalypse?

(Reuters) Two blazes that grew into New Mexico’s largest ever wildfire were both started by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the agency said on Friday, prompting the state’s governor to demand the federal government take full responsibility for the disaster.

Forest Service investigators determined the Calf Canyon Fire was caused by a “burn pile” of branches that the agency thought was out but reignited on April 19, the Santa Fe National Forest said in a statement.

Oopsie! Don’t expect the Warmists to give up their talking points in favor of Reality.
