    Wasn’t someone arreated for arson in relation to the fire, in the same way tha last year in Canada a few people were arrested for arson across Canada? I know there were major forest fires across Canada and different news outlets said that people were arrested for starting the forest fires, even though people claimed climate change, people were arrested for the fires.

      Lightning causes fires. Climate change creates conditions where the fires can get out of control. Same with arson.

      Yeah, the right wing ass hat who set some fires in canada didn’t cause all of them, but climate change exacerbates them. So yeah climate change is responsible for the breadth of the fires, not all were purposely set, but some were (by a right wing extremist)
