Difference is, Rinse is you think the heat is causing the fires.
I think the sheer volume of fires is causing the heat.

Some context might make that image meaningful. Right now, it's totally meaningless. If the red coloration is supposed to represent fires (just guessing!), there's no way it's current.
Over 27,000,000 acres of BC, the Northwest Territories, and other parts of Canada have gone up in flames so far this year. That useless map above shows basically nothing.
This map is only a month old, and it's already out of date. The situation was bad before, but it's a helluva lot worse right now in BC. I touched upon it briefly Here.

Just politely asking... is the inference being made here that all of this is as a result of global warming? The global temperatures, if we're taking at face value what everyone has said, has grown an average of 1.2 degrees over the past 100 years or so. Which by any common sense is not enough to do literally anything (please Rinse... don't make your response long).
Most studies that came out just a couple of years ago, all showed that the increase in wildfires is as a result of poor forest management. There have also been a rash of activists that seem to be causing wild fires intentionally to then claim it was global warming. But poor forest management is the leading cause in California. I can go on about this forever, but it involves union disputes, the fact that the Federal government is no longer managing or clearing fire breaks for the STATE, and modern environmentalist push-back against the creation of firebreaks or land clearing for forest management. We have way more trees today than at any point in history... largely because prior to modern civilization, wildfires would ravage the entire continent unless stopped by a river, or heavy rainfall, etc.
All of this sucks... but it seems the leading cause of wildfires lately has been crumbling infrastructure in the west (downed power lines creating sparks), activism, and of course... all of it becomes catastrophic due to what the WEF calls a lack of "Forest Health" management. That is... the failure to properly manage and care for large forests (not creating fire breaks, etc.).
All of that said, for some reason... activism seems to have become a serious issue... the links I'm about to post, none of them are related, and they're all major fires within the past couple of years. Literally every one of these is within the past 3 years, and I just picked the top 5 or 6 from the list (there were dozens more). Only thing I can assume here is mental illness... so again, why is no one tackling the mental illness problem? Note, these are only ones where the individual was actually CAUGHT, so they know it was arson.

Any of those maps are pretty much useless 1 day after they are published. Things just change too fast. The one I posted is from NASA a couple weeks ago.
As for the "activist arsonists', that is typical leftist mentality at work. From attacking old ladies wearing fur coats to dumping milk on store floors to gluing hands (bet that hurt) to BLM riots. All the same.

I recently posted in another thread here, that over 80% of wildfires in the US are human caused. Some are arson and others are carelessness.
Again, I have posted many times over the years that the increase in severity of wildfires is a direct result of misguided leftist policy.
All of this is preventable. All of this is the result of bad people.

This just is not true. Ecologist and environmentalist are calling for MUCH MORE land clearing to prevent forest fires.
https://www.npr.org/2022/07...plans-climate-change
"Controlled burns are seen by forest ecologists as perhaps the most essential tool for reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire and helping to undo a century of fire suppression policy that has worsened wildfire conditions that now annually wreak havoc across large swaths of the West.
Experts in the field say the pace and scale at which the USFS is implementing intentional fire is dangerously insufficient.
Hurteau notes that just about all of the peer reviewed research on the issue as well as the Forest Service's own plans for reducing hazardous forest fuels call for a historic scaling-up of prescribed burns."[This message has been edited by fredtoast (edited 08-21-2023).]

What specific policy are you talking about?

real brain washed
way beyond hope of repair
try to learn physic's that you just can't understand or try to
btw how does a forest fire heat ocean water far from the fire ?
btw 2 rain shifts lead to extra dry forests that will burn
btw 3 the clues are mounting up up up but the rump fans do not get it by year of deceit and lies
