The California wildfires still raging out of control are the work of a serial arsonist and not the result of global warming. Yesterday, officials arrested the dangerous firebug accused of setting 17 of California’s wildfires as firefighters battle the still-raging firestorms across the state. Previously, global warming alarmists said the wildfires were a result of the long-running California drought that has left a lot of dry tinder on the ground. Numerous studies have shown the California drought is entirely natural and part of a regular cyclic pattern for the state.

Serial arsonist arrested

The man accused of setting the California wildfires is Damian Anthony Pashilk, who has been arraigned on 17 counts of serial arson. Unfortunately, the fires are still raging and the worst is yet to come. Fire season for much of California is September through October when ground kindling is at its driest.

The wildfire that began as a small brush fire has also forced California into a state of emergency. As of today, the wildfire in San Bernardino, dubbed the Blue Cut fire, has burned about 18,000 acres and drove 82,000 people from their homes. It was so hot it melted bikes and destroyed thousands of homes.

With the ongoing drought, summer heat, and strong winds, there was even a firenado spotted.

Another fire, called the Clayton Fire, has wiped out roughly 4,000 acres and 175 homes since Saturday. While many residents are happy that Pashilk is behind bars, he has left a trail of misery in his wake. He has started at least 17 fires across the state, with many of them still burning.

Part of a larger picture?

Prior to his capture, some people were speculating that the wildfires were part of a larger global warming picture.

Some said that the fire season had started earlier this year and blamed it on the drought, high winds, and higher temperatures.

Finger on the scales

But it turns out an arsonist had his finger on the scales.

Without Pashilk setting the fires, this likely would have been a normal fire season. Many of the problems facing California are self-inflicted from decades of fire suppression, a naturally occurring drought, and mismanagement of water resources. While some have tried to blame global warming, studies keep disproving their alarmist rhetoric.

Even the Louisiana floods have come under scrutiny as somehow being part of a larger climate change picture. Al Gore, who has fingered every natural event as being related to climate change, has jumped into the fray and blamed the floods on global warming. But studies show that the rainfall in Louisiana is entirely normal and also part of natural cycles.

As more and more people try to make sense of our world, keep in mind that all of this has happened before, but without the preponderance of smart phones and movie cameras in every pocket to post on social media. Not to mention the soulless individuals who take delight in the abject misery of others.
