Here is an aritlc claiming climate change has something to do with the fires. https://www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfire/wildfire-climate-connection It is almost surely false-- it talks in gneral terms, without refernece to whehter 2025 had a differnet climate than 1925. Might be worth refuting.
An X thread with article linked talks about how Topanga has always had fires, but ranching grazing used to keep the brush down. THe implication I get, though, is that what make 2025 different from 1980 is bad government policy. https://bsky.app/profile/pyrogeog.bsky.social/post/3lfd7jfsydf2l.
