Reasonably adjusted people will probably say it happens all the time, a lot of these ones are due to arson, according to the Greek climate minister.

a lot of these ones are due to arson

1970 - arson results in a barn burning down.
2023 - arson results in a firestorm and thousands of homes being destroyed and ammunitions storage exploding.

Yeah, same old story.

Fires do happen all the time.

On the other hand the record heat wave in southern Europe is not routine.

And oddly enough fires burn better when it's really hot and dry. Which explains why the fires are so unusually devastating at the moment.

"Humans start most wildfires - either intentionally by the criminal act of arson or by accident from campfires, vehicle sparks or improperly disposed cigarettes, for example. However once ignited, wildfires are being driven to larger and more intense extremes due to rising global heat and drought conditions caused by the climate crisis."

I believe we're still experiencing a world record streak of heat, the hottest 26 days ever recorded globally. But maybe that's arson too

Send the same arsonists out to a rainforest, see how bad those fires are ...
