Temperatures in excess of 40C are expected to hit much of the Iberian peninsula this week.

I don’t understand if you’re trying to make a point. So what if they are set by people?
Do they happen in the winter when it’s cold?
These people usually use these heat waves as a cover for the fires. It’s a big industry in the Portugal, which apparently even the government protects.
They don’t do it as a “cover”, the heat waves just help it to propagate.
There’s no cover needed for this type of criminality.
Both, but yeah the heat waves help increasing the burnt area.
The guys who do this sometimes get arrested but are let go to freedom by the court. Some do for fun since penalties aren’t working, others do it because they’re paid by some industry.
I would think arsonists start fires.
Who is getting paid by big industry and why?
For example.
This is just one example. Portugal wastes millions hiring privates to fight these fires. Then there’s the burnt wood that’s purchased for cheap by other industries. (You might need translate it).
There are cases of the same person being caught various times setting fires. Penalties are a joke.
Well that’s shitty.
