"its taking advantage of the less-well-educated"

The author of the article is taking advantage of the less-well-educated.

The author implies that mega fires occur only in the US and began only after Obama became president.

The reality is that mega fires are occurring all over the world in tropical, temperate, and boreal forests, and grasslands. The mega fires began in the 1980s but are becoming more and more frequent

And your solution is what based off the fact that the AGW myth is a globalist wet dream propagated by the UN?

LOL!

Mega fires predate Man’s existence on earf. Just one example : What is now Lake Mattamuskeet .

Part of the problem is fires are a very natural process that removes detritus and forest litter converting it into nutrients. Old tall trees with thick barks and tall canopies were safe in these smaller fires. Fire suppression over the last +100 years allowed stuff to build up resulting in very hot fires that burn everything including the trees instead of cleaning up the forest floor.

The situation does now conveniently fit into your interpretation that demands everything under the sun be attributed to global warming.
