Does anyone else believe that terrorists are starting the fires in the western US?

It's plausible.

It's amazing what droughts and dry spells can bring. Don't worry though. The planet is on a warming trend. The scientists have been trying to inform you, but you'd rather listen to the nice newspeople that say it's all a figment of liberal imagination. Even though it isn't just liberals.

When people infest more areas that they didn't infest before, there is a larger impact to them when these things happen. Nothing new except for the cut back in culling that we used to do when we realized that fires are, a part of the natural cycle out there.

probably a few people do. It's a big country, with a massive population, and even if your fringe theories are shared by one person in a hundred million, there are two more out there just like you, and another person leaning that way.

No, you are the only one. There are lots of simpler explanations for fires in the west.

The tinfoil hat crowd must be out in force.

Nope.
