A former student of mine just did an op-ed for the New York Timesthat might interest you. His basic premise is, yes, climate change might be contributing to increased intensity of things like storms and wildfires, but the effect of that (at least right now) is dwarfed by the effect our cruddy land management policies have on the cost and severity of these events.
Yes, his research includes climate change, and yes, he is among those (including me) who think it is axiomatic that anthropogenic climate change is happening. But this is an important point, too -- we are greatly exacerbating the effects of climate change by our actions and policies. Maybe that's an area we can all agree on, and start working to change.
