hOw Do YoU KnOw iT’s cLiMaTe cHaNgE??
<p>Every once and awhile, when I write about my experience in the 2018 Camp Fire, someone on the Internet thinks they can outsmart me by asking how I know the fire was “caused” by climate change, usually in a snarky, know-it-all, condescending tone.</p>
<p>It’s a typical denier tactic. “How do you know?” “Show me the data.” “You’re not an expert.” It often devolves into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning#:~:text=Sealioning%20(also%20sea%2Dlioning%20and,and%20feigning%20ignorance%20of%20the" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">sealioning</a>.</p>
<p>So, I’m writing this mostly to put — if not an end to it — at least a response out there that’s close at hand, when I need it. It isn’t required reading, or anything like that.</p>
<p>You never know when you’ll be attacked by a sea lion!</p>
