Never mind all this development in arid areas that have seen wildfires for eons. And the fact that we just keep adding fuel for the fires. You haven’t met dumb until you met California dumb.

I don't believe it is. The OP pooh-poohs the concept of GW, implying it's a fabrication by leftist extremists.

All this with still no proof of any connection between man's activities and the climate change we have been seeing for the last 500,000 years or so.
The liberals just can't get the facts to line up with their cherished theories, so as usual they simply stand up and announce their theory is correct. Man has caused whatever they're seeing, and man can change it back. With massive intrusion from government, of course, massive taxation, and huge amounts of new regulation.
So now the latest panic issue is that the California wildfires are man's fault.
They might have something there, of course: Libera environmentalist whackos have block forest management for years, leaving years of dead wood, choking underbrush, and dry tinder in place. No firebreaks allowed, no cleared areas to stop the advance of wildfires, etc.
But somehow Governor Moonbeam forgot to mention those things. No, it's all the so-called "climate deniers" fault.
Climate change is propelling California’s fires, governor says

Gov. Jerry Brown on Sunday said wildfires like the ones spanning the state today threaten “our whole way of life” and lend urgency to efforts that would slow the impacts of man-made climate change.
It wasn't just Jerry Brown that said that climate change is intensifying forest fires in California.
In fact, I found this USDA report from back in 2004 that predicts that climate change will cause increased forest fire activity. Here we are, 14 years later and - surprise! surprise! - it is happening just as predicted:
Had to stop reading this delusional post right there. There is plenty of evidence for the 50% increase in CO2 concentration since the industrial revolution, and why man's dumping of billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere per year is the cause of that.
Further, there is plenty of evidence for why a greater concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere generates an increase in the greenhouse affect, warming the planet.
The only people who reject scientific reality in this matter are those who chose to make it a political issue when Al Gore got involved in communicating the facts about it.
Al Gore wanted a carbon tax so he can make tons of money.
