On July 20, Angus Reid released a poll titled “Wildfire fears burn hot, even as belief in climate change continues to decline.” Right from the get-go, they are conflating wildfires with climate change, something that not even the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) does.
Long-time climate policy analyst and prolific commentator, Roger Pielke, Jr., wrote “What the Media Won’t Tell You About…Wildfires.” In it, he states: “The IPCC has not detected or attributed fire occurrence or area burned to human-caused climate change.”
