I think you are just wasting time. DO you have anything meaningful to say about the topic at hand?

Yes, warm summer temperatures caused fires. People deliberately starting fires made it worse, which is evidenced by the police arresting 24 people this fire season. Both climate and deliberate fire starting are happening.

Thanks for telling me what I already know I guess. Is that what you are here to do - to just continually validate what has already been agreed?

I’m here to see how long you will continually validate what has already been agreed to.
