Why are arsonists lighting fires in California?

Question

I feel sorry for my friends sufferring from the smoke there. My Uncle Ernie took pictures of the fire at the Big Sur.

These fires are making global warming worst.

Why are this people so stupid in lighting these fires?

Answer 1

I don't think much of this is arson.  It is what lawyers and insurance companies call Acts of God.  ie. those things started by nature such as lightning strikes from above.

Answer 2

Same reason as anywhere else.

The current wave of fires were started by a storm that produced 8,000  lightning strikes in a brief period. That started 800  fires, about 1 in 10.

Answer 3

Those people are sick individuals.  They are  lost and thoughtless people.  One thing about it somewhere down the line the will get theres.....Know what I mean

Answer 4

I work 15 min away from Big Sur,there is so much smoke around her but w/e

I don't believe in Global Warming.

Answer 5

Because they like to see them burn.

Answer 6

They wouldn't be arsonists if they didn't burn stuff.  Apparently, like most everyone else in this country, they have low impulse control...they just have an impulse to burn stuff as opposed to buying yet another pair of shoes or eating that last slice of pizza or...

And fires in the area are so natural, many species of tree won't release seeds until they've been touched by flame.  Wild fires have no effect upon solar activity (the driving force of climate change).

Note:  I do not condone the endangerment of others through the reckless, thoughtless act of setting wild fires.  I'm simply answering the question "why?".

Answer 7

Arsonists are evil people.

Answer 8

What does this have to do with global warming?

Answer 9

It has been reported that the fires in Northern California have been started by lightning strikes. SO, complain to GOD.

BTW- Global Warming is a myth, started by Scientists who want "free money", in the form of Federal Research Grants. Their research is bogus, because there is no valid scientific basis for their theory. There is NO "man made" Global Warming. The planet's temperature is cyclical, and natural. There is absolutely nothing WE can do to "cause it", or "stop it". WE are NOT GOD!!!
