Not saying that climate change was the sole factor in the wildfires.I feel bad for the residents of Lahaina. But they and possibly you do not appreciate what can and cannot be attributed to climate change much less so to CO2.

But it certainly was a factor.
And that is not my opinion, scientists and researchers feel the same.
For every link you post that claims otherwise I can post multiple links that support it.

Excerpt:
"A 2022 report from the United Nations Environment Programme projected extreme fires to increase up to 14% by 2030, 30% by 2050 and 50% by 2100 if humankind continues on its current path of burning fossil fuels.
Unless nations swiftly and dramatically reduce the greenhouse gas emissions causing global warming, the recent increase in wildfires is just a small taste of worse things to come, experts say.
“This is our new reality,” Mike Flannigan, research chair for predictive services, emergency management and fire science at Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia, told Al Jazeera in June, about the Canadian wildfires. “We’re on a downward trajectory. Things are going to get worse and worse and worse.”
