The already parched West is getting drier and suffering deadly wildfires because of it, while the much wetter East keeps getting drenched in mega-rainfall events, some hurricane related and others not. Climate change is magnifying both extremes, but it may not be the only factor, several scientists told The Associated Press.
In the federal government's 2017 National Climate Assessment, scientists wrote a special chapter warning of surprises due to global warming from burning of coal, oil and natural gas. And one of the first ones mentioned was “compound extreme events.” For more than a century scientists have looked at a divide - at the 100th meridian - that splits the country with dry and brown conditions to the west and wet and green ones to the east.
“Climate change is a major factor behind the increase in western U.S. wildfires,” said A. Park Williams, a Columbia University scientist who studies fires and climate. In August 2016, a non-tropical storm dumped 31 inches of rain in parts of Louisiana, killing dozens of people and causing nearly $11 billion in damage. Louisiana and Texas had up to 20 inches of rain in March of 2016. In June 2016, torrential rain caused a $1 billion in flood damage in West Virginia.

No it doesn't.. It's called weather, fires have been happening before humans were even here. Maybe get people to stop deliberately setting fires. That might help.
