We are being told that the wildfires in Ontario are being driven / fueled by climate change.

Specifically, more extreme heat and increased drought. 

So, unlike the journalists and most meteorologists regurgitating these talking points, I looked at the actual data since 1910.  - Chris Martz@ChrisMartzWX

• There isn't much of a trend there; in fact there is a significant decrease in the worst of the drought categories despite the spike in 2023–24. 

Very few people these days in this line of work build datasets from scratch. 

But I do it because if someone makes a claim, it's very easy to test said claims against observational data. 

In most cases, alarmist narratives crumble with scrutiny. 

• While alarmists get the basics right about the physics of Global Warming Theory in an “all else being equal” hypothetical, the real-world is a far more complex and details are hairy.
