A recent report by World Weather Attribution claims that the Los Angeles fires were made 35% more likely due to climate change, raising eyebrows among experts who caution against oversimplified conclusions. Critics argue that such findings, while contributing to the discourse, ignore the complexity of wildfire causes, including land management and forest policy failures.
