Obviously there are the climate change denialists who think “global elites” have paid actors setting forest fires around the globe, but there are also reputable people saying this. When I hear arson, I hear a person starting a fire with malicious intent. Are there really massive numbers of malicious firestarters around the globe, or does arson also cover things like recklessness/carelessness, like if I burn trash in my backyard or start a campfire on the woods and it gets out of control?
Even if it were arson, climate change is why the fires grow out of control and create their own weather.
We didn’t suddenly get more arsonists in the population compared to 1970. We’ve got more dangerous conditions now so when someone does commit arson it becomes much larger than ever before.
I also doubt the arson story, unless arson includes carelessness like tossing cig butts.
