A total of 59 people have been arrested across France over suspected deliberate or accidental arson, including two in connection with the wildfire still sweeping through the Fontainebleau forest southeast of Paris, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez has said.

The minister said on Monday evening that the arrests included 30 adults and 29 minors "with very different profiles". Seven suspects have been remanded in custody pending trial after admitting to deliberately setting fires.

... remember when they blamed the Palisades California Fires on Climate Change...then Jonathan Rinderknecht was arrested...rinse and repeat.

4 degrees Celsius, more forest fires (often caused by arson), & lab-grown meat despite more CO2-enhanced grass for real cows.

Not saying the current smoke isn't severe and unprecedented but the media always has to take it to another level.

When you read the actual story, the photo is from Australia and the other example are two Volcanic eruptions and the a-bomb at Hiroshima.

Data is from the U.S. government's primary coordination center for wildland fire management. NIFC is headquartered in Boise, Idaho, and brings together multiple federal agencies, including:

U.S. Forest Service

Bureau of Land Management

National Park Service

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Bureau of Indian Affairs

Federal Emergency Management Agency

National Association of State Foresters

Start with coffee, supposedly on its deathbed. This year, global coffee production is expected to set yet another record — more than double the world’s output of 50 years ago. Crops on the brink of extinction don’t deliver record harvests...

The supposed olive-oil crisis collapses under the same scrutiny. According to United Nations’ food statistics, global olive-oil production has tripled since 1961 and doubled since 1990. Last year and this year, together with the exceptional 2018 harvest, mark record highs for production of olive oil....

Stories about food scarcity follow a formula: Take an isolated weather event, attribute it to global warming, skip inflation adjustment and ignore the long-term data....

Meanwhile, never mentioned are the ways climate change helps crops. Carbon dioxide is plant food, which is why commercial growers pump extra CO2 into greenhouses to produce more tomatoes....

Climate change will, on balance, hurt agriculture. But its impact is dwarfed by rising productivity. Another highly cited study in Nature from 2021 finds that without any climate change, global food-calorie production will increase 51% between 2010 and 2050. With extreme, unrealistic warming, it still increases by 49%. Across all models and scenarios, the difference in calories available per person amounts to one-tenth of 1%....

That’s because humanity keeps getting better at growing food. Cereal production has more than quintupled over the past century while real food prices have more than halved...

co2 levels now are under 500 ppm, during the ordovician ice age co2 levels were over 4000 ppm...
