Thank you. It's possible that I am off the mark. I'm not a climate scientist but a journalist who has lived in a fire-prone area. Many others are better qualified to give the big ecological picture than I am.

Just to make sure this came across: I'm not a "climate denier" in any way, just someone trying to add my perspective and mention a few issues I've seen largely ignored in media coverage of the latest fires: e.g., the role of wind in them.
