Here in Brazil, back in the '80s, left-wing activists spread a pest that wrecked the country's cocoa industry to hinder the political influence of the so-called cocoa barons.

It's Climate Change, not liberals. https://www.foxnews.com/us/ex-professor-charged-four-california-wildfires

Surely the NY/CA professor was just an uncontrollable pyro, and nothing politically motivated.

leftist environment inciting violence is nothing new

My understanding was in late 2020 a few of the wildfires going on in Oregon/Washington/California (I forget which one) were confirmed arson. Politically motivated? Who knows, but sure was a coincidence the left was collectively trying to burn down the country to influence the election.

There were several antifa-looking people arrested. But quickly released.
Probably because Soros was controlling the Judges.

my question is always not who started the fires but who let's them burn uncontrollably. Since it's easy to put out, we know how.

Don't be dumb.

They're the same picture

I’d lean more toward the CCP, which is capable of anything.

I have to agree. Canada's been a blatant Chinese satellite nation for years (I'm shocked no one seems to talk about this). Too much of a coincidence the US is having a totally normal wildfire season while CA's been scorched.

Are they that much more of Chinese satellite nation than the US is? The US is pretty badly infested, they keep finding secret CCP police stations inside the US! And the US buys most of it's stuff from China, so they look the other way a lot of the time when China oversteps

daily reminder us govt and china govt are allies, basically same organization. anything happening, such as viruses coming out of labs, is because both agree to do it.

PG&E decades of not clearing growth near power lines

The Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre keeps great statistics on this sort of thing and makes them easily accessible:

https://ciffc.net/statistics

Scroll down to the "Annual Fires in Canada" graph, and you will see a clear trend of the number of fires in Canada going down over the past forty years by about 50%.

The killer graph, though, is the one labeled "Annual Area Burned in Canada". You can see that in 2020--during the pandemic, when Canada closed off access to its parks--the annual area burned was at an all-time low over the past 40 years, at about 229K hectares burned. So small you can barely see it on the graph.

Covid restrictions affected park use and travel into Canada for the next two years, until October 2022.

Then, in 2023, when those restrictions are lifted, you suddenly see this enormous spike where about 60 times as much area burns as in 2020. This is about 10 standard deviations above the mean. 3 standard deviations is considered unusual.

10 standard deviations is like flipping a coin 100 times and getting 100 heads. That's how unusual it is. It demands a specific answer. It is not something that ever happens under normal conditions.

Part of the answer might be that two years of Covid lockdowns allowed for more dry material to accumulate in park areas that would normally have been exposed to human activity and the resulting accidental fires associated with it.

But this just isn't enough for the magnitude of the effect. Like flipping a coin 100 times and getting 100 heads, the only thing that can be responsible for that kind of aberrant result is deliberate human intervention.

If you could substantiate your claims with a scientific model, it would be grounds for a policy change in a functioning country. It is an interesting comment, but it could be much more.

yeah it might be to make people think climate change is real

Looks like they are testing the space based Directed Energy Weapons again.
