The raging fires burning up Greece right now were started by arsonists, not climate change, the BBC is reporting.
At least 79 people have been arrested for arson related to the “wildfires,” which are anything but wild when people start them intentionally. The Greek government called the culprits “arsonist scum” before announcing that criminal activity is behind the devastation.
According to Civil Protection Minister Vassilis Kikilias, there have been several attempts by arsonists as of late to start new fires on Mount Parnitha, located to the northwest of Athens.
There are hundreds of fires blazing across Greece right now, and at least 20 people have been reported dead because of them.
“You are committing a crime against the country,” Kikilias said in a televised emergency briefing about the fires. “Arsonist scum are setting fires that threaten forests, property and, most of all, human lives.”
“You will not get away with it. We will find you. You will be held accountable.”

While summer wildfires are a common occurrence in hot and dry Greece, there have been more fires as of late, which the left-wing propaganda machine says are a result of global warming and climate change.
BBC is among the left-wing media outlets that, despite these open admissions from the Greek government about arsonists being responsible for these fires, is instead blaming climate change for them.
According to Stefan Doerr, director of the Centre for Wildfire Research at Swansea University, the landscape in Greece and other areas is becoming more flammable because of hotter weather – or so he claims – and poor vegetation management.
The latter point is the same one former President Donald Trump talked about concerning the California wildfires when he said that “raking the forest” more would help to keep wildfires from getting out of control.
Government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis told the Greek public broadcaster ERT that there have actually been 140 wildfire-related arrests, 79 of which are directly related to arson.
That is a lot of people implicated in this ongoing disaster, which is clearly not the fault of eating meat or driving cars. Instead, it is the product of crime, as with most things that go wrong in life.
The vast majority of deaths linked to the fires are migrants from other countries, several of them children. The bodies of 19 people were found near the Evros region of northeastern Greece.
The 20th death was a shepherd who lost his life in the fires raging throughout the Boeotia region of the country.
Kikilias revealed that Greece is currently going through the worst ever summer fire seasons since the country’s fire risk maps were first introduced in 2009. And again, these fires are the result of arson, not climate change.
On the island of Rhodes, wildfires that broke out there forced thousands of people to flee to other parts of the country.
“I hope I am wrong, but all these fires around the world pretty much started about the same time: Hawaii, Louisiana, and Greece,” one commenter wrote about the dire situation the world currently faces.
“Watch for more to break out. I am getting a bad feeling that a certain group is behind these, and if that’s the case there will be more. Also look out for other seemingly coordinated acts aimed to take peace away. This is important.”
