Big problems have multiple causes & there are also multiple things that can be done to reduce the risk of more of them. And yet so much discourse wants to flatten everything into “it happened because of XYZ” or “this one weird trick will ensure it doesn’t happen again.” Not the way the world works.

Seeing the arguments about the LA fires saying "It's climate change" "It's lack of funding" "It's the wildland urban interface" "It's forestry policy" "It's whatever"---That is falling into the trap. Disasters are never one single thing. They are complex. That is why we study them.
