It's arson, not climate change
It’s absolutely a muddying of the waters. But I’d like to be exacting in my criticism of those people. Since I can see a situation in which climate change creates the conditions (drier, hotter, drought, more wind etc) that cause human-started fires to grow larger and out of control. When folks start to talk about “arson” in relation to wildfires, is there any truth to it and I just have too narrow a definition of arson, or is it purely just a muddying of the waters?
I mean arson in my motherthounge is murder fire.
