The 2017 fire season has global warming fingerprints all over it, but it's much easier to scapegoat the poor schmuck who struck the match than to blame the policy makers and climate change deniers who brought all the fuel to the site.

If the poor schmuck idiotic teenager hadn't been there, there was still a good chance that lightning or another careless hiker/camper/smoker would have started the Gorge fire. 
The conditions were ripe for it. 

"Responsible consumers," however, are nowhere near as much to blame as corporate and governmental decision makers. That was my point.
