Actually, the more leftists crazies donates to the fire the more bush fires will be set on fire. This is the business model for the AMazon fire. They intentionally light it up so you can give them money.

Australian authorities have refuted these claims. It has been called out as a hoax. Therefore this thread needs to go in the hoax bin. Or does ATS have a selection bias on what goes in the bin? Mods?
The NSW Police Force has taken legal action against more than 180 people for bushfire-related offences since late last year.
Numerous bush and grass fires have impacted the state, claiming the lives of 18 people and destroying hundreds of millions of animals and livestock, thousands of homes, and more than 4.9 million hectares of land, so far this bushfire season.
Since Friday 8 November 2019, legal action – which ranges from cautions through to criminal charges – has been taken against 183 people – including 40 juveniles – for 205 bushfire-related offences.
Of note:
24 people have been charged over alleged deliberately-lit bushfires
53 people have had legal actions for allegedly failing to comply with a total fire ban, and
47 people have had legal actions for allegedly discarding a lighted cigarette or match on land.
Arson overstated
As for the cause, the website article claims "many of the fires were set by arsonists." The article cites a news story in The Australian that said that more than 180 people have been arrested since the start of the bushfire season and that Swinburne University professor James Ogloff said that about 50% of bushfires were "lit by firebugs."
The 180 figure is wrong.
New South Wales police reported on Jan. 6 that it has taken "legal action" against 183 people for bushfire-related offenses since Nov. 8. But that number includes 24 people charged with deliberately setting bushfires, 53 people cited for allegedly failing to comply with a total fire ban and 47 people cited for allegedly discarding a lighted cigarette or match on land. Not all of these people were arrested, as the Starnes article claims.
Moreover, bot and troll accounts are likely involved in a "disinformation campaign" exaggerating the role of arson in the fires, according to a social media analysis by a lecturer at Queensland University of Technology in Australia, The Guardian reported.
One area of misinformation has been the hashtag #ArsonEmergency on Twitter.
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) researcher Dr Timothy Graham analysed a sample 315 accounts posting #ArsonEmergency and said around a third of them displayed highly automated and inauthentic behaviour.
Only about 1 per cent of the land burnt in NSW this bushfire season can be officially attributed to arson, and it is even less in Victoria, the ABC can reveal.
The world has been shocked by the scenes of devastation as the unprecedented destruction of Australia's horror bushfire season rages on.
The disaster has sparked significant media speculation that many of the blazes were deliberately lit.
While it is true firebugs remain a legitimate and serious threat, we crunched the numbers provided by police and fire authorities around the country.
The results might surprise you.
How fire lies spread 'wildly'
As authorities fight bushfires around the country, an ABC investigation reveals a battle of a very different kind online.
NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) Inspector Ben Shepherd said earlier this week lightning was predominantly responsible for the bushfire crisis.
"I can confidently say the majority of the larger fires that we have been dealing with have been a result of fires coming out of remote areas as a result of dry lightning storms," he said.
In Victoria, where about 1.2 million hectares has burned, only 385 hectares — or 0.03 per cent — have been attributed to suspicious circumstances.

Does that mean climate change cannot exacerbate the problem?
explains both highly abnormal fire temperatures, never seen until recently, and why they spread so fast, which was never seen until recently as well.

At least now I know a primary reason why they've been spraying millions of metal particles above us. for years.
Fires alone can be explained as natural, or human caused, as always.
But what has never been possible to explain is why those fires often reach abnormal, unnaturally high temperatures, and spread so incredibly fast, even without much wind....
What they've been spraying above us for all these years, has now come to fruition. It is a slow, steady build up of highly combustible metal particles, such as aluminum, which has landed on our worlds forests, our amazing trees.

Nasty, evil filth. They will all burn in hell, after death, for their evil deeds....just as they deserve.

i'm sorry i've been trying to just conduct my business as usual today but this take has lodged in my brain like a tick and i can't stop thinking about it
can you please explain the purpose of this scenario? Chemtrails have been talked about for decades, you're saying it was all planned to make fires worse in 2020? Why? to what end?
