Fair enough but given sparse coverage of the backgrounds of many serial arsonists (the ones that got caught, presumably most of them do not) behind recent California wildfires, people notice that for example, Alexandra Souverneva, was an Environmental Studies major and yoga instructor and speculate on her motive.

Much of that speculation is the direct result of the conspicuously sparse reporting about the backgrounds of these arsonists. There was Maynard, the college professor, there was Eric Michael Smith who may have simply been anti-authoritarian bedwetter type. I mean, it’s a huge list but the coverage, perhaps for noble reasons, focuses almost exclusively on climate change which if you understand the science and notice the vast number of arsonists that do get caught seems almost conspiratorial to those prone to conjecture.
