There’s been no indication as to what caused the massive fire in Hawaii’s area of Maui as of yet, but, that won’t stop the climate cult from involving themselves. They won’t even wait for the death toll (which stands at 36 right now), nor do they care about the suffering of the people there. The NY Times starts it off
How Climate Change Turned Lush Hawaii Into a Tinderbox
The fires in Hawaii would be shocking anywhere — killing at least 36 people, in one of the deadliest wildfires in the United States in modern history. But the devastation is especially striking because of where it happened: In a state defined by its lush vegetation, a far cry from the dry landscape normally associated with fire threats.
The explanation is as straightforward as it is sobering: as the planet heats up, no place is protected from disasters.
The story of this week’s blaze arguably began decades ago, when Hawaii started experiencing a long-term decline in average annual rainfall. Since 1990, rainfall at selected monitoring sites has been 31 percent lower in the wet season, and 6 percent lower in the dry season, according to work published in 2015 by researchers at the University of Hawaii and the University of Colorado.
So, your fault. If only Hawaii had stopped allowing the use of fossil fuels to bring tourists and goods to the islands. And here’s the AP
What’s driving Maui’s devastating fires, and how climate change is fueling those conditions
A dangerous mix of conditions appear to have combined to make the wildfires blazing a path of destruction in Hawaii particularly damaging, including high winds, low humidity and dry vegetation.
Experts also say climate change is increasing the likelihood of more extreme weather events like what’s playing out on the island of Maui, where dozens of people have been killed and a historic tourist town was devastated.
“It’s leading to these unpredictable or unforeseen combinations that we’re seeing right now and that are fueling this extreme fire weather,” said Kelsey Copes-Gerbitz, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of British Columbia’s faculty of forestry. “What these … catastrophic wildfire disasters are revealing is that nowhere is immune to the issue.”
This is being repeated all across the Credentialed Media, and few are showing the least bit of care for the people affected. It’s pure cult activism. As Watts Up With That? points out, the Hawaiian islands are extremely fire prone
There is sufficient precipitation on the lee side of the islands for substantial grasslands to develop, with grasslands increasing during the past several decades as agriculture has declined on Hawaii (e.g., the sugar cane industry is essentially gone).
And, yes, there are unusual dryer and windier conditions at the moment, but, weather is not always consistent. Further
The situation this year on Maui was made even more dangerous on Hawaii because the past half-year was WETTER and COOLER than normal, which enhanced grass growth. I repeat wetter and cooler. (bold theirs)
The climate is always going to change. The Earth is in a warm period. Not everything needs to involve witchcraft, er, human induced global warming.
Maui wildfires are yet another 'climate scientist failure.
Local government told to expect floods, gets wildfires instead.
"The disaster’s magnitude has stunned the local government. 'We expected rain, we expected floods,' Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke (D) told reporters Wednesday. 'We…

Funny how the “scientists” are usually wrong.
Funny how “citizen scientists” like Mr Teach, Steve Milloy and Tony Wuwt are almost always wrong.
Pro tip: If you rely on tobacco and coal industry lobbyist Steve Milloy as your expert you are likely to be wrong.
Milloy (2018): “I do have a bias. I’m all for the coal industry, the fossil-fuel industry. Wealth is what makes people happy, not pristine air, which you’ll never get.”
The right is losing the narrative that global warming is a hoax/scam, what with all the wildfires, heat waves, big storms and melting Arctic and Antarctic. Maui burning up hurts your cause.
Mr Teach: As Watts Up With That? points out, the Hawaiian islands are extremely fire prone
Yep, they have these wildfires… how often? In fact, 0.5% of Hawaii burns each year! But says Hawaii: an increasing amount of nonnative, fire-prone grasses and shrubs and a warming, drying climate have greatly increased the wildfire problem
I don’t recall a resort city like Lahaina being obliterated by a wildfire before. 11,000 residents have evacuated from Maui and at least 36 have died. Airlines are evacuating people and pets to other islands.
According to Teach, any mention of anything other than the 36 dead is an OUTRAGE!!
Chubby doesn’t recall so it must be climate change that caused the fire…
Fucking brilliant!

Bwaha! Lolgf
If our J could prove Milloy wrong, then who he does or doesn’t lobby for would be irrelevant, correct? So he brings up lobbying..
But the funniest thing is..you don’t think the alarmist side has lobbyists? Especially because governments fund alarmist lobbyists and scientists, with governments having infinitely bigger pockets than any ff company..
Milloy needs to support his claims.
He mistakes the comments of a weatherman for global warming. The mayor expected rain and got wind instead. One spark + 70 mph winds + dry grass led to this tragedy.
Milloy’s allegiance to fossil fuels fuels his opinions.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” – Upton Sinclair.
How so? . That part of Maui had above average rainfall for the preceding 6 months-more grasses grown. The grass has taken over many parts of where they used to have sugar cane crops. There were gusts up to 70mph. But the main point is that he said it wasn’t due to “climate change”, of which there is no proof there is. So in other words you haven’t refuted what he said.
Dear Elwood:
At least they won’t drown.

Do juneau you’re an asshole??
Dear Elwood:
Clever, but the fact remains that the sea level is LOWERING.
And if you want to claim it’s “local.” Remember that Juneau is just south of all those glaciers and snow that supposed to be melting by global warming.
Dummy.
Thanks for signing your comment, Dummy!!
For a primer on sea level changes (including sea level decreases near glaciers and ice sheets), read on…
Deniers are clever enough to yelp that near the melting Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and near Alaska’s receding Mendenhall Glacier, local sea level is decreasing as the overall sea level is increasing!!
Why didn’t the media report all those previous times when wildfires killed over 50 Hawaiians!
Huh?

Bwaha! Lolgf
Try to keep up BoyPussy…
If wildfires are nothing new in Hawaii, why haven’t the media reported all the deaths until now???
The latest death toll is at least 53. Oops, 55. Oops…
It might be, maybe, possibly, that the current wildfires are worse than before.
