Many forest fires are caused by humans, not weather.
True, four out of five fires are started by humans, but even fires started by humans are made far worse by the extremely hot weather the planet is experiencing lately....The hotter the weather the worse the fire.

Weather plays a major role in the birth, growth and death of a wildfire. Drought leads to extremely favorable conditions for wildfires, and winds aid a wildfire's progress -- weather can spur the fire to move faster and engulf more land. It can also make the job of fighting the fire even more difficult. https://science.howstuffworks.com/na.../wildfire2.htm
I really wonder what is going to happen to the American west. The midwest has seen an abundance of rain over the past decade, and there is always flooding on the East Coast. The West continues to see record droughts and above average temperatures, and does anyone really think that is going to change? Of course it won't, and the most beautiful places in the U.S. are going to be ash piles, and water resources will continue to dry up.
It doesn't matter to the alarmists. In a few years when it is too obvious that the world has began cooling, they will say it is due to man-made CO2. The only difference is that unlike warming, cooling is a real life threat issue for food production, thus human life.
You're joking, right? Surely you don't think that increasing heat is not just as great a threat as cooling is to food production? If that's really what you believe I have a hot desert to sell to you. You can grow more rocks on it and eat those.
So if there isn't extreme weather next year, what does that mean?
It means you missed it because you died and went to heaven.
