I’m not sure if I do. It may well be true - that the world is drier due to global warming, hence easier to light up.
Some scientists and academics have pulled together some data, and on which they base their claims that the world is heating up.
Scientists and academics also fueled most of the pandemic policies, running the planet into the ground, and creating mass hysteria. Apparently, what they did during that time has led to an increase in arson attacks.
It could be:
“From 1965 to 1991 the percentage of arson in relation to all crimes increased fivefold and in the same timeframe the amount of arson increased nearly tenfold.”
“In recent years, fire-raising has become an increasing problem in Britain and elsewhere…”
Fire Rising: Its Motivation and Management.
There’s been an increase in mental diagnoses the past 100 years or so. Pyromania as a diagnosed disorder is likely to co-exist with another one. Increase the mental illness pie size, likely to see pyromania increase. I guess?
"The rate of pyromania and co-occurring disorders is considered to be high. In one study, 95.1% of individuals with a history of firesetting had a lifetime history of at least one psychiatric diagnosis. Firesetting comorbidity is high and can be seen alongside the following mental health conditions:
- Antisocial personality disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder
- Impulse control disorders
- Bipolar disorder
- Substance use disorders
Comorbidity with other psychiatric problems:
- Pyromania and Mood Disorders: Comorbidity of 61.9%
- Pyromania and Impulse-Control Disorder: Comorbidity of 47.6%
- Pyromania and Depression: Nearly 10% comorbidity."
Sometimes, the firesetting is a response to increases in what they see as govt overreach:
“About 800 wildfires have struck Italy this year, tripling the normal annual average and causing millions of dollars in damage. But more than half of them were likely started by arsonists or farmers breaching fire rules, authorities say.”
Italian authorities: “Less than 2% are caused naturally…"
In any case, there’s a lot of arsin’ aboot.
