 We're in Rocky Mountain National Park and Marine Park below Cub Lake, one of the most beautiful views in the world. But today that view is marked by smoke from a forest fire that is burning up here. There was a forest fire near here last year, and it smoldered through the winter under the snow, not sure yet if these two are related. Forest fires have always happened, nature has always caused them, humans have always influenced forest fires, but now we're also influencing them through climate change. Earlier snow melt, hotter summers make for worse fire seasons, and we are seeing worse fire seasons. You can't blame one fire on climate change, but we've made bad fires more likely with climate change and they are happening. A whole lot of things about climate change are that way. We've always had record highs, we've always had floods, we've always had droughts, but we've made a lot of those more likely to happen and we really are seeing more of them. It's sort of like playing a game with loaded dice. We've made one outcome more likely and it comes up.
