Parallel to the hottest heated hotness ever narrative are the ‘wildfires’ raging across the landscapes of countries where it is also hot. But much like many of the fires blamed on global warming, the culprit – while human influence – is arsonists.
This one was spotted by a drone in Calabria, Italy.

Roberto Occhiuto, the president of the Calabria region, expressed his determination to take strong action against arsonists. He disclosed that 22 such suspects had been apprehended last year through drone surveillance, according to the Independent.
The ongoing wildfires in Italy’s southern region have caused substantial loss of life and property. Sicily, the southern island of Italy, has been particularly hard hit. The regional president confirmed that three elderly individuals lost their lives in the fires. The Italian Fire Department reported that they battled nearly 1,400 fires between Sunday and Tuesday, including 650 in Sicily and 390 in Calabria.
Numerous fires named on climate change or global warming have been attributed to arson in California, Brazil, Australia, and Canada (to name a few).
