Climate scientist Patrick Brown just published an article in the prestigious journal Nature - and then caused a sensation by saying he had tailored that paper to be in line with the "narrative" that top journals expect on climate change - one of alarmism regardless of the facts. Some have jumped on the claims as vindication of what they've always said, others have called him any number of unflattering names. What's the truth? Is this a big deal that will echo through the coming decade, or a minor squall to pass imminently without leaving an impression? Let's have a look.<br /><br />References<br /><br />Climate warming increases extreme daily wildfire growth risk in California, Brown et al <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06444-3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06444-3</a><br /><br />Connections of climate change and variability to large and extreme forest fires in southeast Australia<br /><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-020-00065-8#article-comments" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-020-00065-8#article-comments</a><br /><br />Forest fire detection system using wireless sensor networks and machine learning<br /><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-03882-9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-03882-9</a><br /><br />Projected increases in western US forest fire despite growing fuel constraints<br /><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-021-00299-0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-021-00299-0</a> <br /><br />Emissions – the ‘business as usual’ story is misleading<br /><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00177-3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00177-3</a> <br /><br />Climate simulations: recognize the ‘hot model’ problem<br /><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-01192-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-01192-2</a> <br /><br />Multi-decadal increase of forest burned area in Australia is linked to climate change<br /><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-27225-4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-27225-4</a><br /><br />Projected increases in western US forest fire despite growing fuel constraints<br /><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-021-00299-0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-021-00299-0</a> <br /><br />Spatial and temporal expansion of global wildland fire activity in response to climate change<br /><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-28835-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-28835-2</a><br /><br />Support this channel! <a href="https://patreon.com/mallenbaker" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://patreon.com/mallenbaker</a><br /><br />The ‘Dangerously Reasonable’ channel by Mallen Baker covers news, current affairs, science and politics.
