As always you have gone into great detail to present your findings. I just think that since the admission of guilt by “big oil” the argument has moved on.
Most wildfires all over the world have always been caused by humans either arson or carelessly thrown away cigarettes, barbecues, unextinguished fires etc. The difference now is that the land and plants are bone dry due to Climate change and thus the intensity of the fires means they cannot be controlled as they used to be. So far Canada has lost 30 million acres of forest.
I honestly hope we can all come together and fight this coming catastrophe but I fear it’s turning into self interest versus the future of the planet. Sadly I would not be surprised if self interest wins and we all lose.
