About how many are really the result of global warming.
Note: I'm not denying global warming for one second, just questioning the cause of these fires. My theory is that in a populations of several million plus tourists, the likelihood that there is at least one a-hole with bad intentions or pyro fixations is fairly high. Probably a lot higher than spontaneous ignition.

I don't think the elevated temperatures are directly causing the wildfires, it's not like we're reaching auto-ignition temperatures, the problem is how much everything gets dried out and consequently how much faster the fires can spread and the relative ease with which any ignition source could start the fire, whether it's arsonist a-holes, or a piece of broken glass (for example).
