Yet another one of those "climate driven super fires" that the left screams about was... set by a crazed homeless junky who had previously killed his dad and committed serial arson and was let out of prison by far left soft on crime policies.

Yes another topic dummy does not understand. Fires occur all the time. Drier, hotter conditions mean some of them will turn into super fires. Arsonists rejoice, but they are largely irrelevant. Something will trigger a fire if the conditions are right.

"How likely is it that the user sam adams is a meteorologist?

Meteorologists and fire scientists routinely distinguish between cause of ignition and conditions affecting spread.

Does this suggest Sam Adams is a meteorologist?

No.

Nothing in this comment demonstrates meteorological expertise. In fact, it arguably conflates two different questions:

Who started the fire?
Why did it become so destructive?

A meteorologist would normally recognize that these are separate issues.

A professional meteorologist would generally be expected to acknowledge that ignition source and fire behavior are distinct scientific questions.

Based only on this comment, I would assign a low probability that the author is a professional meteorologist.

A rough estimate:

Very unlikely

The reason is not because of the political opinion. Meteorologists span the political spectrum. Rather, it's because the comment does not display the kind of reasoning you'd expect from someone trained in meteorology:

It treats the ignition source (alleged arson) as if it refutes claims about weather and climate influencing fire behavior.
It contains no meteorological terminology or analysis (e.g., humidity, wind, fuel moisture, drought, atmospheric conditions).
It relies almost entirely on political rhetoric rather than technical explanation."

"does the user jergul demonstrate greater meteorological knowledge in this matter?

Yes. Jergul's comment demonstrates a better understanding of wildfire science than Sam Adams' comment.

Here's why:

Sam Adams' argument

His implicit logic is:

"The fire was started by an arsonist, therefore climate-driven 'super fires' are a myth."

That is a false dichotomy. It confuses:

ignition (how the fire started), with
fire behavior (why it became exceptionally large or intense).

These are separate questions in wildfire science.

jergul's argument

jergul says:

"Fires occur all the time. Drier, hotter conditions mean some of them will turn into super fires."

This is broadly consistent with the scientific understanding.

Meteorological understanding

Based solely on these comments:

Sam Adams: 2/10
Shows little understanding of the distinction between ignition and atmospheric conditions.
jergul: 7–8/10
Correctly identifies that weather and fuel conditions determine whether ordinary ignitions can become extreme fires.

So, yes, jergul's comment demonstrates a noticeably better grasp of the meteorological and fire-behavior aspects of the issue than Sam Adams' comment. It doesn't prove that jergul is a meteorologist, but it is much more consistent with the way wildfire scientists and meteorologists explain extreme fires.

Oh bless. NaMBLA is still trying to avoid acknowledging that he knows he was wrong about all that shit he said in the 90s and early 2000's about climate change.

This thread is a perfect case study in close reading.

Note the carefully constructed wiggle room around attribution - so he can still mock the left and feel superior in intellect (the only way NaMBLA is able to self actualise) without threatening his identity as being on the political right nor conceding decades of error on the scientific facts.

The post is written in such a way as to appear to mock the idea of climate change, but a close reading shows it is not acknowledging the reality of anthropogenic climate change that is identified as foolish, it is claiming it as the proximate cause for the fire as opposed to an arsonist.

A case study in childish thought and a complete lack of introspection and ability to learn, correct and grow.

NaMBLA:

Another great example of your endless ability to protect your ego with false claims. Climate change cannot destroy the earth any more than Mars was destroyed when it's entire atmosphere was striped away. Nobody claimed such a ridiculous thing.

".. uh... anything" - you just spent the last month screaming about Europeans suddenly dying in their thousands due to air con, which has never been needed in the whole history of Europe for the last few thousands of years. Cognitive dissonance much?

In England, the harvests have been materially impacted the last four years in 5 across the entire country. That's literally never happened in 1000+ years of records.

Sure, nothing much is happening.

No, I did not in fact say any of your stupid straw men bullshit, but I did point to the climate models, and the actuals matched those models very well.

You spoke of sunspots, you spoke of plateaus, you said the AMOC couldn't be affected, and talked bullshit about tree ring data and screamed about hockey stick graphs being faked.

You've been wrong about everything, in the field you claim to specialise in. You are a joke.

"Climate change cannot destroy the earth "

That's something a right wing white supremacy science denier would say.

"In England, the harvests have been materially impacted the last four years in 5 across the entire country."

The harvest of what? Grooming age girls? Lol

This is an obvious lie. Like everything else in your post, it's both made up and retarded.

Sam for the entire time: planet is warming a little but the impact is minor.

30 years later here we are, with negligible impacts. I win. You lose. Like always.

Lmao.

Dummy, your ignorance is simply stunning. Climate change is one of the main factors fueling migration to name a simple aspect. Years of drought drove the rural population to revolt in the case of Syria to name one example. It is also one of the reasons Iran is insisting on transit fees and has Oman on board. Or why it wants peaceful nuclear power in the first place (threshold status does have positive security implications, but that is just icing) Resilience to change is critically important.

Luckily, we have numbers guys that quantify the increased risk. You can measure it by looking at changes in insurance premiums.

They don't capture tipping point disaster scenarioes or look 100 years ahead of time, but do provide a decent snapshot of some costs.

But why would you care? You are going to live on Mars.

Looks like insurance premiums will only increase by 10% in the US this year. A good year. Below the average yearly increase over the last decade.

Your ignorance is not a shield dummy. Nor is your stupidity.

Multi-year drought caused an inner migration in the form of an insurrection that in turn lead to mass migration out of Syria.

Young people, men in particular, can be highly mobile when there is zero prospects for even basic survival where they are. Guess what climate change does in some places? It turns survivable places into unsurvivable places unless government is able to effectively intervene.

If there was any actual problem with food the most vulnerable would be the ones migrating.

Since it's all combat age males, free welfare and the ability to rape your women(whom you are too weak to defend) are the primary motivations.

Every stoned hippie since the '60s has been more correct than Lying Pedophile in the field he lies about being an expert in, lol.

And he still hasnt addressed the first piece of idiocy: that he doesnt even understand the difference between ignition and atmospheric conditions. This is his only tactic: run away to another lie.

The one thing he does manage to do is refuse to ever answer and always dodge away to another braindead lie that no meteorologists believe in ("I never said there was no climate change" - yes, you did, liar for years, until you finally submitted a tiny bit to the next level of stupidity where greenhouses gases were good for plants, so GW was a good thing, etc), gets raped there too, and quickly dodges to another point.

But the toy rabbit in greyhound racing is built to always run away and never stop.

One of the things that make Mehdi Hasan such a good journalist/debater is that he never lets the liars flit from flower to flower like a butterfly. They all try to quickly change subject each time he rapes them like Lying Pedophile, and he always no, no, no, stop. You havent answered the first question. Why do you not understand the difference between ignition and atmospheric conditions?

Dummy, your moronic theory on the mobility of the most vulnerable can be categorically dismissed. The vulnerable shelter in place, or at the very best within region as best they can. It has been like this always.

Women would obviously be the primary migrants if freedom of movement was total and the goal was to exploit welfare systems.

1. Get into a country
2. Give birth to a child in that country
3. ...
4. Profit!

You are so rediculous.

Lying Pedophiles 3 stages on GW:

1. Years saying it was all a libruhl lie

2. Years saying, theres a tiny bit of GW, not caused by humans, and its good for the planet

3. Years saying, theres a tiny bit of GW but it will only harm poor people, and thats a good thing

Dummy, they obviously can, but need a broader support network than men. See the largest migrant group by far recently. We supported Ukrainian migration, so women and children arrived in great numbers. 80k in Norway. By far the largest refugee group in the country.
Sam Adams

Take for example the Ukraine. Euro and US refugee outfits taking in women and children while the men stayed behind to fight and work.

Or likewise the Brits and Germans evacuating the kids from cities during the mass bombing campaigns of WW2.

In real disasters, the women/kids flee, and are usually helped to flee.

Obviously that isn't happening with your current mass invasion. It's all young men coming to take your money and rape your women, and you are too weak to defend either.

Pathetic.

Literally, the Lying Pedophile creed is the greatest existential threat humanity has ever faced.
What is the correct response to existential threats? Usually, everyone would agree that it should be exterminated.

Dummy is so close to the answer. What characterises the evacuation of vulnerable people?

Answer: Broad government support and assistance.

Which most would be migrants definitely do not get.

Also, get a clue:

There are 10 times more refugees from Ukraine in Norway than there are from Africa.

The gender numbers from Ukraine are 40k males, 45k females. So much for your theory that men remained behind in that open air prison for males 25-60.
