The obvious clue that climate change is causing an explosion in fires is that the sharp increase in wildfires is not local, it's global. In the last few years massive wildfires have broken out not just in the U.S. and Canada, they've occurred in Siberia, Australia, the Amazon, Europe, Indonesia and even in the Arctic. It's unprecedented and is occurring on a much larger scale than what would occur naturally.

Sorry! That's a flat out false statement and in fact the exact opposite is occurring.

Look at the link and show me how fires are increasing since say 2007 or even 1900.

So in your opinion, or research - aside from arsonists, what causes these fires to flare up?

To me, they need an external spark... lightning strike, campsite fire gets out of control, something... throw in the fact that forests aren't kept up and dead material removed.

The climate idiots are laughing all the way to the bank.........climate has changed for the last 10,000 years without the SUV's in Santa Monica. This hoax started in 1922 and gave us 10 years until we were done......but the stupid are still buying it.

If I gave the white coat guys a 100 million to drop global temp .01 degree in six months they couldn't do it........

It's just as bad after they cut it down. They leave a lot of debris, stumps, etc., that provide fodder for the fires.

No, the corporations are the ones laughing their way to the bank, because they succeeded in bamboozling a segment of the public into believing that the pollution their factories (and products, in the case of the auto industry) produce wouldn't cause climate change, and that those worry-wart scientists raising the alarm were wrong. Because everybody knows you can trust corporations, right? They all have the public's health and welfare at heart.
