While discussing the fires on his podcast, Rogan took aim at "a really goofy thing that people on the left are talking about."

Climate change was a major factor behind the hot, dry weather that gave rise to the devastating LA fires, a scientific study has confirmed. It made those weather conditions about 35% more likely, according to World Weather Attribution - globally recognised for their studies linking extreme weather to climate change.

The hot, dry weather that led to the inferno was made 35 per cent more likely and 6 per cent more intense due to the warming planet, research found.
