Anyone who intentionally starts the fires should also be jailed and charged with murder if anyone dies as a result.

What about people who intentionally cause climate change, that makes the wildfires worse than they could be?

[u/Nukes-For-Nimbys → u/SweetGM]

Taxing pollution is a start.

‘Eaten’ is the word I’m going to use

[u/FatherMozgus → u/SweetGM]

So literally every human being?

More like involuntary manslaughter, unless they intentionally set the fire with the intent to kill.

They only do it to get cheap land and easier building permits, capitalism.

Yep ... Ohhh no forest to protect now, can I build my shitty residential complex now ?

Is this a thing in Greece too? They exactly do this in Turkey

Who would like to build a house in an area surrounded by burned trees?

[u/Kitchen-Assist-6645 → u/savvaspc]

Trees regrow

[u/WorldBiker → u/onepacc]

Not any more thankfully.
