The US is having the second slowest fire season on record to date, with just over half of the normal burn acreage. There are no fires burning in Arizona or New Mexico at the current time. Regardless of their ignorance about fires, anyone stupid enough to believe that they can influence the climate shouldn’t be discussing science anyway
