I’d like to thank the editors of The Bee for publishing Dana Nuccitelli’s authoritative, and highly informative article (“The Many Ways Climate Change Worsens California’s Wildfires”). It brings together may lines of evidence to allow readers to gain a better understanding of global climate change, and what the future will be like if we don’t get serious about making necessary changes. One obvious step in the right direction is Citizens Climate Lobby’s proposal for a carbon fee and dividend. Even more obvious (as the article makes clear), no step is a big step in the wrong direction.
