Yes. Due to climate change, conditions were such that an Uber driver could ignite what became a catastrophic wildfire.

Some TikTok fantasy genius was telling everyone that Justin Jefferson is a must start this week. I told him that his mom should look into late stage abortion

Then others started chiming in, saying this guy is a fucking idiot. He stopped his live. Hopefully he takes his account down.

Climate change is a threat-multiplier; it intensifies existing problems.  In the case of the LA area, drought conditions are more frequently pushing into winter, increasing the chance a fire will break out during strong Santa Ana winds that can turn small ignitions into devastating blazes.

The Palisades Fire started in January. Right in the middle of "rainy season" That Nov/Dec/Jan combo was the dryest on record by a long shot, way outside the expected variance.

"Hot, dry, and windy conditions that fuelled the recent LA fires were made about 35% more likely due to human-made warming, a new study has confirmed."

Lol. 100% more likely due to human made warming.

Say you don't understand the difference between "ignition" and "fuel" without saying you don't.

Human-ignitions are the largest single source of wildfires in California.  However, warmer temperatures, earlier snowmelt, more frequent heat waves and drought caused by climate change have lengthened the fire season and dry fuels, making fires larger and more intense.

The narrator doesn’t have the most engaging manner but this is a pretty accurate and wild breakdown of the evolution of the relationship between late night comedy show hosts and Trump and how it’s become their entire purpose.

GMFB.  Making jokes about politicians is part of a long tradition of late-night TV hosts using satire and political humor to comment on current events and public figures. 

I remember Johnny Carson spoofing Ronald Reagan in a "Who's on First?" parody and joking about the antics of Jimmy Carter's brother, Billy.  Carson was particularly fixated on Gary Hart's extramarital affairs.  Some pundits believe it contributed to the decline of Hart's political career.  Chevy Chase's portrayal of President Gerald Ford as a clumsy oaf reinforced a public perception of the former football star as a klutz, despite his athleticism.

The problem for you is that Trump's presidency provides late-night hosts with endless fodder.  Trump’s also massively obsessed with late night talk shows and the hosts know it.  Maybe he should STFU occasionally instead of flooding the zone. 

Trump and his MAGA cult need to grow up.  It’s part of the job.

"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

I don’t watch late night TV, occasionally watched Conan way back in the day. They’ve all turned into talking about nothing but Trump. Had you watched the video he breaks down exactly what the hosts used to do versus what they’ve done since 2015.

so you're sort of an expert on late night TV who doesn't watch late night TV, and expert on climate with no background in climatology or physics, an expert on gender dysphoria with no background in psychology, and expert on women's reproductive systems who's a virgin, and an expert on tariffs without any economics background who never got past algebra.

Checks out.
