The NEWEST LIE from the QANON dopehead liars? That Democrats started all the fires in the west. Yep. How many of you believe THAT?

Do we know he's a Democrat?

I do not know for certain. But he is the 5th person arrested for arson setting forest fires. (2 in Oregon, 2 in Washington and 1 in California)  
I also know what group has been know for using Molotov Cocktails recently. 

Well, when you know for sure that he's a Democrat, let me know.  It's disingenuous to link him to any group and assume that he's a Democrat without actually knowing that.  That is how FAKE NEWS and disinformation winds up all over the internet.

:):):)

Where did I state he was or was not a Dem?  I simply stated there is validity to the theory as there have been multiple people arrested for starting fires this year. 

A theory is not a fact.  Please don't attempt to make us think you weren't trying to connect what this guy did to being a Democrat.  Your president thinks we're that stupid.  Don't make the same mistake.

Again I did not say it was a fact. Just as I did not say the person or persons who have been arrested are or are not Dems/BLM/Antifa members. 

Jeffery Alan Accord arrested in WA for starting a fire next to the highway and live streaming it to Facebook.  He is a common attendee at Defund the Police events.

So, if I attend a BLM protest, that makes me Black.  Now I see your reasoning.

No. My son attended a BLM protest (an actual peaceful protest shortly after the video with of the George Floyd murder against police brutality) He is not black.
If you support Defunding the Police or "Reimagining policing." It makes you a Dem.  Of course, not all Dems support this but the ones whom do are leftists.

From a county Commission meeting in Oregon. Clackamas County Captain Jeff Smith:

"And this is not specific to one area, but all over the county, both outlying and even closer into town of people of extremist groups staging gas cans for later destruction. And equally concerning is there are reports of people from other extremist groups, it’s not confirmed antifa, but suspected antifa, this is more specific to the Estacada area, reports and sightings of people armed with chainsaws and the goal was to fall telephone poles in hopes of starting further fires. And that’s all the information I have at this point."

"it’s not confirmed antifa, but suspected antifa,"  Talk to me when you have something resembling fact, not speculation.  Oh, wait, Trumpians don't need no stinkin' facts.

Again...I did not state it was confirmed facts.  I said it is a theory and then posted evidence that supports the theory. I am certain I can find more...but I have proven my statement that there is evidence to support the theory.

The point is people are setting the fires....it is NOT climate change and lightning. It is people. A number of whom have been arrested.  Those are facts and they stink especially for the good people loosing their homes and livelihoods.

FACTS support theories.  FACTS.

If it wasn't for climate change, do you think we would have 30 years of drought in the west while the south just got 2-3 feet of rain from the unusually large number of tropical storms and hurricanes this year?  

Yes and the facts are people are being arrested for starting these fires on the west coast.

The climate changes....always has always will.   It goes in cycles.  We are in a warming cycle now. This post was edited by my2cents at September 17, 2020 11:33 AM MDT

So, by your definition, "people" are "democrats."  I see.  Must be nice living in your world.

Again...I do not know if all of them are Dems.  But I have showed evidence that at least one of the 6 arrested is a Dem.   But regardless the people caused those fires.... not lightning and not climate change. 

You think lightning had nothing to do with those fires?  You must be one of those folks who thinks the earth is flat, too.  Careful now, don't fall off the edge.

I know at least 12 of the fires were set off purposely by humans...not lightning and not climate change. 

Such cycles take thousands or millions of years. This spike has happened in less than 2 centuries, an eyeblink in terms of geological time - examination of ice cores demonstrate that such a rate of warming has NEVER happened, and even blips in the records can be traced to increases in volcanic activity.
The only thing that has changed significantly in the recent past is HUMAN ACTIVITY - specifically combustion of fossil fuels.

No it has not. See the link below. CA has had a long history of drought.  Long before the last to centuries. 

30 yrs of drought???

Through studies of tree rings, sediment and other natural evidence, researchers have documented multiple droughts in California that lasted 10 or 20 years in a row during the past 1,000 years — compared to the mere three-year duration of the current dry spell. The two most severe megadroughts make the Dust Bowl of the 1930s look tame: a 240-year-long drought that started in 850 and, 50 years after the conclusion of that one, another that stretched at least 180 years.

The longest droughts of the 20th century, what Californians think of as severe, occurred from 1987 to 1992 and from 1928 to 1934. Both, Stine said, are minor compared to the ancient droughts of 850 to 1090 and 1140 to 1320.

----------
California has regular periods of drought.   Has for centuries actually for millennia. 

How about taking into account over-population in certain areas being a contributing factor?  How about the fact that most of the fire-prone lands are GOVERNMENT lands.  Why hasn't Trump swept the forest floors owned by the government?
