Either the forests are not being managed well or someone is starting these fires. If it is arson, it is some environmental terrorist likely trying to prove a point by destroying forests and communities.
Draught, and storms with not so much rain but lighting causing fires. Then a week of a heat dome with a subsequent cold front that brought in high winds and pushed fires out at rapid speeds
Cam, no one here wants to hear about your conspiracy nonsense.Please go away.
Why is everything a conspiracy? What is ironic is how many "conspiracies" during COVID came true like vaccine passports. So being called a "conspiracy theorist" is a compliment. It means I am likely onto something.
A broken clock is right twice a day, but still broken.
A slow clock is never right.
Well this clock is not as broken as you think.
That's circular logic, which isn't a sign of intelligence, but rather...
I would like to hear it and I would prefer them to stay
But I respectfully disagree with the theory of intentional arson, wildfires are started all the time by dry conditions and lighting strikes, California gets them frequently. I mean, it's not really a stretch to assume overly dry conditions coupled with 50,000 degree lighting strikes could start a fire.
No one wants your here either, bucko.
Every single Pagan is a White Nationalist larper, so with all due respect, go back to 4chan
Weird prejudice you've got there. Not surprising, just disappointing.
Or you know, warming and lightning and crazy heat. That thing that's been predicted for decades?
The entire province of BC ~~is~~ was forest
Global warming is drying our forests making them easier to burn. The temperatures have been crazy high this year.
