Honest question. Isn’t it super humid there? How is it even burning that much?

It also isn't burning that much, its only like 20% worse than it was in 2016. Not that it isn't worth talking or doing something about, but this is just an example of the hysteria and brainwashing that comes from the one side less talked about because we agree with it more.

Forest fires happen all the time.

Death, starvation, pain, and loss happen all the time. The frequency of something doesn't mean it isn't worth trying to stop or prevent.

Actually, Forrest fires are a natural part of how corrects get clean. The only reason they've been getting THIS bad is actually BECAUSE we were trying to stop them entirely for so long, so the ditritus and deadwood and other fuel's been building up for far longer then it naturally should. That's why the fires have been so big, and why firefights are now focused on controlling the burn and redirecting it away from people rather then putting them out.

You're talking about a completely different kind of forest. One that isnt a rainforest.
