It is, but this much fire is not normal, neither is the lack of rain. Vancouver Island is classed as rain forest, or it used to be.
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.
I'm a PhD scientist for over 30 years. I've attached a link to some "science" (amazing how few people understand what science is yet are willing to profess faith in it) below.
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........

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.
A second town in BC has been destroyed, we have had a total of 1,410 wildfires to date, over 280 fires burning now and new fires every day, so far 2,252 square miles just in BC have burned. We've had no rain on Vancouver Island for 55 days now.
