A couple of random associations have popped up.

The first is that large fires produce a lot of smoke. Smoke in the atmosphere does two things, reflects sunlight and helps cloud formation which also reflects sunlight. Both reduce the amount of surface heating (global warming!).

Is it possible (((someone))) is causing the fires intentionally as a way to increase the albedo thinking it will offset the dreaded (((global warming)))? Pic attached with article link.

Secondly, and totally randomly, is it appears a lot of micro quakes (small earthquakes) and largely dormant volcanic activity are associated in areas of California and off Vancouver that have massive forest fires. Pic Related.
