Tenchusatsu I don't see how it could pass your brain BUT YOU made my point.

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green says ‘very real’ global warming caused CONDITIONS for deadly wildfire

So a campfire or an arsonist or power line or lightening could ignite a wildfire.

But global warming caused CONDITIONS for a DEADLY wildfire. Global Warming did not cause the ignition. However warfie is right, Global Warming likely causes more lightning strikes which do cause ignition. We don't know the cause of the ignition yet.

Those facts are not hard to understand. Same with the Paradise Wildfire that killed so many. In addition I've criticised the US Forest Service for mismanaging forests and making fires FAR more destructive than they were in the past when fires were natural and good for forests. In fact I've been critiquing them since the 1960s, when no one listened to me. Jack Kerouac and John Muir also critiqued their management among other who understand forest ecology.

Now, combined with Global Warming I think our forests in CA are doomed. They may save small portions that have been control burned but most is doomed.

I do not know if mismanagement of the fire in Maui had anything to do with it. I do know that the chaparral in Southern California does NOT require fire to be healthy unlike the Sierra forests. However we did lose the forest in the Cedar Fire at Cuyamaca Rancho State Park in 2003.

Fire suppression over 100 years cause it to be much worse than a natural fire which would have been good for it. Unlike a natural fire which clears brush and allows new trees to sprout all the trees were killed, invasives species moved in and choked off any new saplings. It'll be 200 years before trees come back.

My cousin's cabin burned in that one.

After every such fire a scapegoat is needed. The Forest Service is never blamed. In the Paradise fire the power company was blamed. That means the ratepayers... the very people who blamed the power company... will pay for the lawsuits. In reality the reason it was so bad was lobbying by the timber and mining companies.

I thought that was pretty dumb.
