    The Spin

    Narrative A

    This is one of many climate change-catalyzed infernos that are causing a global wildfire crisis. The soaring temperatures are turning landscapes into tinderboxes and it's time for governments to focus on preventing fires instead of reacting to them.

    Narrative B

    There's no need to panic; California has a long history of wildfires. In fact, scientists have maintained that fires are needed for forest renewal. Despite this, climate alarmists are quick to point the finger at climate change, which only alarms the public.
