Given the initial spark is usually lightning, which will have a higher chance of causing an out of control fire in dried out conditions, and which is certainly "spontaneous" in my view (as in, nothing we can do about it apart from monitoring), why not?
I'd say it qualifies.
- flaque 7y agoThat’s my point; the OP’s argument that it’s an “either or” between arson or climate change is a strawman. Dried out conditions make initial triggers (like lightning or arson) more likely to have disastrous consequences.
- htfu 7y agoRight. I'm saying that I AM saying a hotter climate will cause the initial burn spontaneously. By my definition of spontaneously, being "without human input". What I mean is you're being needlessly defensive. The strawman completely fails even on its own terms.
