No surprise here given how @GavinNewsom has also been quick to blame for wildfire losses and skirt how the state has built an in existing danger zones. He should heed @FrediOtto! >

This great line from Entsminger of @SNWA_H2O applies to many systemic risks. But it's missing a crucial fourth component. We also have the of exposure & vulnerability in zones facing hazards (whether from drought, flood, storm). 1/2

This 2019 statement about a tendency to conflate changes in hazards with changes in harms holds up well.

@christophjoyce It's important for science to probe how much CO2-driven warming shapes extreme weather. But it's irresponsible to communicate such findings without also describing how the of built vulnerability is shaping losses. j.mp/expandingbullseye. Happens all the time.
