Trump has famously pulled the US out of the Paris Agreement, an international agreement to protect air quality. He has also repeatedly declared global warming to be a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese. More specifically, here are 15 Trump-era policy decisions that are either rolling back protections put in place by Obama, or are actively speeding up the degradation of the environment: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/e...d-environment/ Perhaps Trump has mentioned "clean coal", but afaik nothing has been done to turn that concept into a reality. Coal is carbon in rock form; dirty to the touch, environmentally damaging to extract and afaik all methods to convert it into energy release huge quants of carbon into the atmosphere. In fact the very term "clean coal" is about as meaningless as the term "dry water." TBH, I can't see how anyone who is intellectually honest and concerned about the environment can defend the Trump admin's position on environmental issues. So Yes, I do point a finger, though I might stop short at OH's suggestion, preferring a democratically arrived at solution over political assasination - but hey, that's just me.

I think the news broke out on twitter forcing news outlets to cover it. Weird how they jumped on Notre Dame being on fire but not the planet slowly being destroyed. Edit: Actually quickly in retrospect.

Opens up one hell of a market for hydroponics though.

From what I've read, the fires are all individual human made fires, but typically the forest doesn't actually burn like that because it's such a damp environment. Because of climate change the rain-forests have been a bit dry and they've been experiencing heavy droughts so it's burning at an unprecedented rate.
I've also read that these rain-forests provide Earth with 20% of it's oxygen.
