| #6 Lots more arsonists: Antifa/BLM/Black Bloc, the mentally ill, teenagers playing with matches, and the occasional jihadi. Swarm behaviour "it is an emergent behaviour arising from simple rules that are followed by individuals and does not involve any central coordination." |

| #5 have we been the victims of intentional arson on a scale unprecedented? My superficial take, NoMoreBS: 1) It’s fire season, same as every year. 2) More invasive Australian eucalyptus trees plus more undergrowth equals bigger, hotter fires. Everybody knows this, but the tree huggers won’t allow either to be dealt with because everything green is sacred. 3) Lots more arsonists: Antifa/BLM/Black Bloc, the mentally ill, teenagers playing with matches, and the occasional jihadi. 4) This is just a guess, but I suspect California has less money for firefighting this year because they have to pay for more social workers to support the growing criminal class, non-teaching teacher benefits, welfare and benefits for illegal immigrants, and all the other world-changing projects they prefer to taking care of the important things. |

| #3 Anybody else just flummoxed by the number and size of these blazes, huge swathes of California are burning or have burned, and now SoCal. Is this Biblical or have we been the victims of intentional arson on a scale unprecedented? I recall the worry in my Homeland Security days of a Jihadi, a Cessna and a box of railroad flares in August... |
