California, Washington state, and Oregon have been the hardest hit by the blazes which are believed to be fueled by heat waves and windy conditions.
Wildfires have spread across 3 million acres of California and the connection between the fires and the global warming crisis seems to be the most obvious direction to point the blame to.
Spreading like wildfire, literally.

Opportunities for Political Gain
There is a theory circulating that California among other Democratic States, are using the wildfires as a means to be able to declare a State of Emergency to get Federal funding.
It is a known fact that President Trump won’t give funds to California due to corruption and sanctuary cities so it is believed that the wildfires are being accelerated if not intentionally started as a way to get funding.
