Question

Why are there some many wild fires?

Answer 1

I dont know why people make them but it isn't fair to nature.

Answer 2

Mostly because of the ill conceived policies pushed by the environmentalists

20 and 30 years ago controlled burns were common place

The the environmentalists came along and decided that this was a bad practice

Now with all of the underbrush and dead wood being allowed to build up the fires that would be fairly small and insignificant have all the fuel they need

It's called the law of unintended consequences

It usually happens when you let knee jerks dictate policy
