Huh.
Here were just a few of the many headlines I kept seeing these past few weeks:
The planet is literally burning, fam!
Oh wait...
Greek officials arrested 160 people on arson charges for the wildfires that ravaged Greece this summer. Previously, the media almost exclusively blamed the Greek wildfires on climate change.
Wildfires have scorched Greece this summer. In the past week, at least 21 people - including two children - lost their lives in connection with the wildfires.
Fire department spokesman Ioannis Artopios said 60 firefighters had been injured attempting to extinguish the blaze as of Thursday.
Firefighters battled 99 separate wildfires across the country on Wednesday.
The fire in the city of Alexandroupolis has burned 180,400 acres, the largest damage ever recorded from a wildfire within the EU.
Government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis said that 160 people had been arrested across the country on arson charges, 42 of them accused of intentional arson and the remainder accused of setting fires through neglect, according to the New York Times.
Interesting!
So 42 people intentionally set wildfires.
Makes you wonder about Canada or Hawaii or all the other places where "climate change" is causing the planet to burn!
Arson doesn't negate the fact that the frequency of natural wildfires in Greece may also be increasing due to changing environmental factors. But the media isn't here to discuss the science, just to peddle fear without reporting the facts.
So why is all this arson happening now?
I have a hunch.

But we're not allowed to talk about that!
