Climate change debate, It is like the doctor telling you that smoking a pack a day and increasing each year is bad for your health and may give you lung cancer. He cannot tell you that it will, but that it greatly increases the probability. Your friends tell you of people who have developed lung cancer but did not smoke at all, people who have smoked and never gotten lung cancer, and point out your house mate smokes as much as you do and is increasing faster. That means there will still be second hand smoke unless your house mate quits too. They point out there are a couple of scientists who disagree with the research, so you decide the science is inconclusive and continue to smoke until you do develop lung cancer. Then you ask the doctor what you can do to prevent it. You are told it is too late, but if you had acted years ago you might have been saved. You then criticize science for not being able to convince you to stop or to cure you after you continued against the warnings. Your friends just call dibs on your stuff.

Now the beautiful Yosemite. The top of my road about three blocks away or climbing anywhere near is a vision similar here. Boredom with land sales until that turn and the rock formations. It is serious stuff here and all natural places. So I bought a new 24" Husquevara and had my mitigation done in 2005 after Hayman very near.
There's a couple year old article here about the rapid and large increase in forest/wild lands fires. Eventually toward thermageddon, almost all forests will be burned down, or dead from heat, climate fluctuation, increased insect and disease attack.
