eh.. Forrest fires been happening for thousands of years and they'll continue to happen for thousands more. And if they purge a bunch of libs along the way so much the better
Lightning starts fires BUT in the old days, lightning also meant rain followed putting out the fires but these days, you can get electrical storms and no rain... that is super bad trouble.
I bet some dude was using an angle grinder and started the fire or kids playing with lighters... who knows? Someone started it, trust me on that one!~
Controlled burns are my bug bear because we OVER do it in WA... I actually run around behind the fire brigade photographing the fucks abusing the bush... They are doing it WRONG and destroying WA biodiversity.
However they started, the problem is, because of hotter and drier weather, this fires are burning out of control. There are not suddenly more arsenists all over the world than ever before. The world is heating up, and this is causing more forest fires that are disastrous.
