>Wildfires in Canada were at a two-decade low in 2020, during the lockdowns. Think about that.

Likely because most wildfires are accidents, even with accelerationist provocateurs being profoundly stupid and causing the thing they're worried about to get you to worry about it. People radicalized enough to do that are wildly uncommon.

Perhaps as a percentage of the population - but we do have groups like Stop Oil routinely and deliberately causing massive traffic congestion, which ironically produces more wasteful emissions. Or the fools throwing liquids and pigments on irreplaceable historical artifacts and monuments.

Never underestimate a radicalized idiot... they are capable of the inconceivable.
