Had a look at the comments under ML's latest climate-related retweets. Here's one for the record, nearly 100% aggressive trolling, refusal to engage with the substance of the argument, and they're all like that. Only deleted the ones with no message. Clicked on a few of the profiles and only thought one looked like a possible bot: https://nitter.moomoo.me/styz0r, though AI has been coming on in leaps & bounds, so they say... Read it and weep:
The source of ignition - accident, arson, etc - is not the point here. Once a fire starts, for whatever reason, if the landscape in tinder-dry due to baking hot weather then it is far more likely to become severe And extremely hot, dry weather is happening more often in the Med
Feels Like Kevin☘️🇮🇪🌎 @K4Climate I presume it mentions that the IPCC doesn't have High Confidence that weather conditions for wildfire have become more "probable" in Southern Europe and how austerity has meant that Greek Forestry Authorities have been denied requested management budgets? cadtm.org/How-Austerity-Help…
Prof Richard Betts @richardabetts Our paper came out after the IPCC AR6 report, so is more up to date I'm an IPCC author BTW, and I contributed to the chapter on extremes more replies
Feels Like Kevin☘️🇮🇪🌎💚 @K4Climate So it doesn't mention it, even though it could have, and neither does it mention anything about Greece's historically dysfunctional forestry management systems. macropolis.gr/?i=portal.en.s… Politicians have commissioned, and largely ignored, multiple reports on wildfires In February 2019, the then leader of the opposition Kyriakos Mitsotakis welcomed the publication of an expert committee report on the management of forest fires in Greece, calling its recommendations... macropolis.gr
James Lee @iJamesLee1 Medium confidence strangely being repackaged as ‘doesn’t have high confidence’ here.
Feels Like Kevin☘️🇮🇪🌎💚 @K4Climate When you create plastic terms, what do you expect? The fact, however, remains. Richard will also not rush to point out that UNDRR says cold weather kills multiple more people than warm weather globally, or that there's less fire in the global landscape today than centuries ago.
Stephen Meeus @StephenMeeus Exactly. I lived in Southern California for many years and saw first-hand what the lack of brush control results in. We saw the same in Australia a few years ago.
John O Gaunt @Samson1176 It’s almost as if the EU has been paying landowners and farmers to ‘rewild’ the landscape for the last 25 years.

Mike @MikeSouthWestUK “Contributed” is doing a LOT of heavy-lifting here. Now we know it was arsonists they have to move the goalposts on “global warming” yet again 😂
Dominik Lenné @d_le_nen the decrease in burnt area in spite of increase in fire season length and dryness is absolutely puzzling!
Nick @thejuice345 ITS ARSON
Bayern 2020 6 trophy s @BurnsGerard Trust this
Lance @Lance_089 Hot weather in the summer you don't say.
PennineWayfarer 🇬🇧 @penninehiker So climate change is now caused by arsonists?
doubledigital_ @styz0r
Barry Apathy @ApathyBarry Lovely graphics! Well, you've won me over. I'll sell my 4x4 this week and get rid of our gas boiler. And no barbeques from now on. Just in case any hot ashes land in this dry, barren UK landscape and cause a wildfire in London. Just Pop Boils!
It really does matter?🇬🇧 @chels1_chels 'Human -caused climate control'.....arsonist?
Craigg @JeffersonCraigg "...emerged beyond its pre-industrial variability..." I like that turn of phrase. warren pitts
@woz35 Currently in southern Spain Murcia,normal weather for this time of year
Nicki @NKGme74 No different to the flooding in Rhodes in 96 the fires in 97/98 really.
Tommo @Tommothebiglad Explain why the South Pole is becoming colder and the ice sheet there has grown considerably
CotswoldsBloke @CotswoldsGeezer Utter bollocks. Even if the average temperature is a degree or so higher it has no bearing whatsoever on forest fires which have always happened, lately because of (deliberate) failure to clear brush and Just Stop Oil wankers setting it alight to further their shill.
Cirque De La Soul @CirqueDeLaSol Fire weather? I love a good fire on a cool night or on a warm night. What is the perfect fire weather? Guess it’s a personal preference but when there shit to burn, a good fire will get it done. Enjoy the fire weather you’re having!
John Meredith @TorquilMacneil Curious that fire weather is increasing but less land is being burned. Why is the African Savannah less fire prone now?
PJH LUFC @pistol1603 Apparently people with zero scientific background/knowledge who went on a summer holiday to Greece 10 years ago, when it also hot, know better.
Broken Dad 💜 @pleassavemykids fantastic mental gymnastics there Prof. keep it up, its working!
Miguel @micha3lsilva Warm weather in summer, who could have guessed… Now do a paper on many of those fires are arson
Kris Kross @ChrisBe30988568 Money making racket
Tommo @Tommothebiglad Humans haven’t caused climate change. Climate change has occurred before humans even came along. It’s natural
My Diego @MyDiego526078 Project fear!! Booga, booga
Crazy Horse🇬🇧 @glasgowsportsfa Drier/warmer weather causes arson to be more effective/devastating. To address this we must all change our lives so that arsonists don’t have to.
M.K. Sikh. @petersingh206 Definitely human💥💥💥
Anto O Connell @antooconnell Can I ask are you currently sitting in Italy or Greece? Places where the locals are struggling in the heat? It’s easy to dismiss this when you’re sitting in Northern Europe or the UK. I’m currently in Sardinia and today was horrendous again. I’m looking forward to getting home

David Rye 🚜 @DavidRye3 🤣😂
Posh_Will @PoshWil1 When scientists tell you something the very first thing you must examine is who funds them. Once that is established their scientific conclusions can be put into context.

Mike Mitchell @FBreject1 "human caused" as in arson. neoskosmos.com/en/2023/07/24… uk.news.yahoo.com/rhodes-wil… Wildfires on Greek island of Corfu 'caused by arsonists' Fires broke out on the Greek island of Corfu shortly after 19,000 people were evacuated from Rhodes.
Investor @investor_bored #ClimateScam
rather not say @AndrewP61441104 The point of ignition is very much the point. Dry grass is not uncommon in the med at this time of year.
The Mayor of Trumpton @SirJaysonWaller No, it was proven to be arson.
Tricky⚒️ @Tricky26032429 What a load of bollocks. The fires are due to arson and the country has always been a dry country which helps wildfires burn rapidly. The only man made thing here was putting a match to the countryside.
Powder Bubble @Powder8u88le “Human hands are responsible for the fire in Rhodes” rodiaki.gr/article/498014/gi…
Napper Wainwright @N_Wainright "extremity of fire weather" - what bollocks 😂
Freedom Forever @FreedomRocks21 Someone taking a lighter to things to s a bigger concern
Michael @MikeGal041 Does that paper differentiate between human caused climate change and other types of climate change?
Looksshopped @dislooksshopped Humans are not changing the climate.
Bishop @DawgsandGolf I’d love to see the records of who gives money to your research. I bet it’s filled with nasty WEF linked figures.
Bazza keeper of the biscuits @Bazza73617427 No humans lit the fires, it has nothing to do with the nature driven climate.
OffYouFook @GoOnFookOff "prevalence and extremity of fire weather has already emerged beyond its pre-industrial variability in the Mediterranean due to climate change" or summer as it’s commonly known
Alan @Alanwedgemaster “Climate science” paid to install fear. Fire weather? 😂
STEPHEN @GAWA201 No.
Muddishcrab @muddishcrab Anything you say prof...not
Richard @Richard78150031 Bollocks
Hodders #PTFE 3.142π @Hoddy67 What a load of bloody nonsense
Johnsw @investorjsw Er - No. Set by human hand. For those who have never visited Greece in the summer - it always dry and hot.
Don't Look Up @inthecity23456 Absolutely right, when someone starts a fire by accident or on purpose we cannot blame anyone else. Due to carbon emissions in the UK? The answer is very likely to be no.
Nick Palmer @NickAPalmer "has already emerged beyond its pre-industrial variability" Would you have a 'ballpark' figure for how the variability now exceeds, in percentage terms, pre-industrial or early 20th century times?
Ron Atkin @RonAtkin1 Arson and inappropriate fire breaks. Naive Greens have a lot to answer for.
Jas K (McDonnell) 🇮🇪 @chesterkopagain How have arsonists caused these floods? How are they making water go on fire then flood everywhere 😂😂
The 3 Mals🖕🏼🍺🏴🖕🏼 @VicBake The only human interaction that caused the fires are climate activists with a gallon of petrol and a box of swan vesta
Geoff Monty @MontyGeoff It was arson.
Mike Wilson @Gethsemane65 No it was arsonists
Algave Kendo @AlgaveK Total rubbish. Arson is the cause of the fire. In summer the entire region is bone dry and that goes back to pre industrial times.
Steffen odberg @OdbergSteffen It was arson bell end
Robert Ferguson @nobry Did human-caused climate change contribute to the great fire of London?
Dominar Bonus Hole the 14th @THATCH_ARISES We know these same areas have been hotter in the past. We didn't run out and make sacrifices to the weather gods to change it then, and sacrificing all of modernity won't change it now.
ctsbillc @ctsbillc Well professor, seems Europe is having an average season, though there were some early fires started by folks who of course had nothing to do with the "climate emergency" dogma. And long-term worldwide wildfires are still dropping. spectator.co.uk/article/is-g… Is global warming behind Greece's wildfires? Are the scenes of wildfires in Rhodes really a symptom of a the world ‘being on fire’, as Greta Thunberg would say?
F.E.Smith @FESmith1872 Who funds you to write this globalist tosh ?
AMORPHOUS MATERIA | CAPP-Glaufx Records @GlaufxGarlandKS this is what they found in Greek forests - Ask some Turks some WEF and Germans (wind turbines solar panels) and Greek Gov - nature in Greece seems the same as the last years.
Yvette ✝️☦️🇸🇪🐶 @JonssonYvette No arson contributed to this and other big fires 🔥
Ian McGhee BSc (Hons) Only Morons question it! @mcgheeianmcghee JUST STOP ARSON!
Caz #KBF 💜 @covidanarchy It’s no wonder we don’t trust professionals professor !
أبو عمّار @MaajidNawaz Like previous wildfires, this was arson. “Rhodes fire ‘caused by human hands’ Officials in Rhode’s have confirmed that a preliminary investigation shows that the horrific fires were caused by arson attacks, but no arrests have yet been made” dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-…
ToodlePip @PhilGre86300684 Of course the actions of an arsonist is the point. If the fire had not been started deliberately the ensuing damage etc would not have occurred
Brian @Brianjohn69 Ignition is not relevant??🤔🤔 but dry grass in dry countries in summer is?..
Brian Krassenstein Press Release (Parody) @KrASSensteinpre False
Matt Alexander @markjonesblue 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Climate HOAX
Yain @I_Am_Yain From the paper: 1️⃣Global annual burned area has plummeted in the modern era. 2️⃣this is certainly true locally in the Mediterranean. 3️⃣"Fire weather" isn't in the top four reasons for wildfires.
