I wonder if that’s dry wood they’re referring to (like what you burn in fireplaces) because I would assume that living tree wood would be even harder to ignite with just heat. Then again I would guess that it’s mostly brush - dried undergrowth and dried grasses - common in warm weather climates during the summer that would catch fire first and ensuing flames would burn hot enough to start trees burning.

In any case my gut feeling is that, while there are natural causes for some fires, most of the large-scale fires that rage in America and across the world are started by arsonists. Too many of these malevolent, violent beasts have been caught for these crimes to make me believe that arson comprises a minority of these blazes.

Edit: Thank you for the article. Good to use facts when trying to talk to clymate fanatics (even if they don’t want to listen to actual data).
