Odds are great that a person set the fire regardless of climate impact.

I mean, that's kinda redundant...... That's unless you had previously thought it had been lightning on a clear day, or maybe Bambi with a Zippo.

Unless you are proposing that we have a zero open flame policy in one of the most populated states in America....... Then I really don't see the benefit of blaming any single individual.

People have been lighting fires in California for thousands of years, the reason they are no longer manageable is because of climate change, and because we refuse to spend the time and money on land management.

people who set fires that cause this much damage and loss of life should be executed by being burned at the stake

And then no one ever made a fire again and everyone clapped.....

This would do literally nothing to curtail wildfires in the future. I mean the last big one was started by an electric companies faulty equipment. Are we executing the power grid next?
