This seems to be a pattern. They keep Blaming the climate emergency, and we keep finding out that the fires were started by people, intentionally and unintentionally, as well as company ineptitude. Here’s yet another
What, a wildfire blamed on #ClimateChange was actually started by a "shaman" boiling what she thought was bear urine to drink? ???? https://t.co/gFv0Uko9gO

(NY Post) A California “shaman†is charged with starting a wildfire that is threatening thousands of homes claimed it started by accident — while she was boiling bear urine to drink, according to local reports.
Alexandra Souverneva, 30, faces up to nine years in prison for allegedly sparking the Fawn Fire, which has destroyed 41 homes and 90 smaller structures and is threatening 2,340 others, officials have said. She has pleaded not guilty.
She is now being eyed for possibly starting other fires across the Golden State, according to the Redding Record-Searchlight.
As the fire in Shasta County raged on Wednesday, Souverneva claimed she’d been hiking and trying to get to Canada, according to documents obtained by the outlet.
She told forest officials that she was thirsty and had come across a puddle of what she believed to be bear urine — and tried to make a fire to boil it, according to documents obtained by the outlet.
The Other McCain has quite a bit of information on this wonderful person, including being “registered to vote as a member of the Green Party.” Rather ironic Perhaps she could be a little more careful when starting fires to boil bear urine. Which is probably a bunch of mule fritters, since
(Cal Fire Officer Matt) Alexander said in a report that “there is a high possibility she is responsible†for a fire the previous evening, too.
“It is my experience that arsonists … will light multiple fires in a short timeframe,†Alexander said, according to the paper.
At a press conference, Shasta County District Attorney Stephanie Bridgett said Souverneva had contact with law enforcement in connection to arson “in our county and other counties as well†but did not elaborate.
Sure looks like ‘climate change’, right?
