There is no connection.  It is easy to disprove a connection between global warming and the LA fires. In 1938, a similar fire occurred in the Palisades. This fire is not unique.  Thunderstorms sometimes cause wildfires. A big increase in dry thunderstorms would be a climate-related cause of wildfires. That hasn't happened nor were there any thunderstorms in Southern California when these particular fires ignited. The fires were caused by human actives.
