Original Note:
It is conspiracy theory and conjecture that the fires across Canada today were mostly arson: https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2023/06/08/danielle-smith-is-concerned-about-arsonists-causing-wildfires-experts-are-more-worried-about-misinformation.html https://finance.yahoo.com/news/canada-wildfires-spark-ecoterrorist-conspiracy-010702753.html https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/06/08/air-quality-canada-wildfire-smog-fire/ Ftr, whatever first started the fires is irrelevant to the question of whether global warming makes forests more prone to fire: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/06/07/see-wildfire-smoke-map-of-us-canada/70293572007/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/climate/canada-wildfire-data-change-1.6854186
