The European Forest Fires Information System says that the number of wildfires in Europe is nearly double the 30-year average. The situation in the USA is probably worse and in Canada, not much better, Peter Koenig writes.
Wouldn’t this steady year-by-year increase of so-called “wildfires” raise the legitimate question of why and what or who causes them? he asks.

Would You Like to Know How Forest Fires Are Made?
By Peter Koenig, originally published by Global Research and republished by UK Reloaded on 2 August 2026
Every year, at least for the past five or six years, approximately starting with the (“UN”) Agenda 2030 – remember the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”)? – bush and forest fires have become more ferocious.
As of late July 2026, wildfires across the European Union (“EU”) have burned about 254,400 hectares (2,544 km²) since the start of the year, with France, Spain, Portugal and Italy among the worst-affected countries.
The European Forest Fires Information System (“EFFIS”), via the EU Joint Research Centre, reports 254,388 hectares (ha) burnt in the EU in 2026 up to 22 July 2026. This is above the 20-year average but slightly below the same period in 2025. See this for more info: Current wildfire situation in Europe, European Commission.
EFFIS maps fires bigger than 30 ha that include at least some forested area. Its figures represent roughly 95% of the total EU burned area.
In Spain and France, more than 200,000 people were evacuated or escaped by themselves, leaving their home and for many their life savings and assets (homes, farms, farm lands, cars and other amenities) behind to save their lives. Some escaped the spectacular Bordeaux peninsula, offering stunning landscapes and tourist areas, as well as oyster-farming villages and upmarket resorts.
Since the beginning of 2026, close to 1,300 fires have beendetected, though fewer than in the same period in 2025, when 1,329 were recorded. But more than double the long-term average (about 30 years) of 569 fires.
According to EFFIS, these fires emitted 8.31 million tonnes (Mt) of CO₂ since the start of 2026, slightly below the 8.48 Mt recorded in the same period in 2025, and the long-term average of 8.89 Mt. Consider, though, that the summer is not yet over. For comparison, an average European citizen emits 5.55 tonnes of CO₂ over an entire year (EDGAR 2024 recording – Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research).
The situation in the US is probably even worse. As of late July 2026, the United States is experiencing a severe and above-average wildfire season, with the National Preparedness Level raised to its maximum (Level 5) and more than 16,000 km2 burned nationwide. This is about 140% above the 10-year average. The situation in Canada is not better.
Wouldn’t this steady year-by-year increase of so-called “wildfires”raise the legitimate question of “why” and “what” or “who” causes them?
Well, the answer is relatively simple – like so many that concern the ever-worsening human predicament. We are attacked from many sides at once. Globalism is alive and well, and pursues the UN Agenda 2030, synonymous with the Great Reset, vigorously to reach its goal of a One World Order, One World Government by 2030, or before – with a totally controlled and largely transhumanised population.
The “wildfires” are but another means to scare people into submission, making them believe that we are rapidly moving towards “Global Climate Change” – or in this case “Global Warming” which we, the common humanity, are causing by shamelessly continuing to use what makes world economies tick, namely hydrocarbons. We should instead all use the most socio-environmentally destructive windmills, solar panels and move as little as possible, like in 15-minute cities, so that we are controllable 24 hours, punishable if we do not conform to the rules.
We are not there yet.
Watch THIS brief video to understand how sophisticated destructive technology has become.
A few years ago, they used helicopters flying over vulnerable forest areas, shooting fire-beams at them. Today’s drone technology is much more discreet and effective.
There is a Spanish voice over the English original version. The video clip explains how chemical capsules are filled into a special compartment of drones designed for the purpose of delivering these “balls” to particular forest areas and then let them drop to earth, where, by touching the ground, they catch fire and – bingo – the brushfire is fabricated. It gives plenty of arguments for the scary “climate change” narrative.
Anybody in their clear mind knows that the climate changes all the time, has done so since the existence of [the world] for over 4.5 billion years [if you believe in evolution, that is], but slowly and gradually in different regions, so that people and other sentient beings may adapt. “Sudden” changes as in Agenda 2030 are as unrealistic as growing square apples, so as to better fit them into commercial agendas.
“Wildfires” – there is nothing wild about them. They are deliberately planted, causing uncounted deaths, destroyed properties, public infrastructure and enormous personal, societal and economic damages, including the burned forests.
Yes, the infamous “climate change.” That is where the World Health Organisation (“WHO”) comes in, by integrating wildfires and heat risks into national health emergency plans; enhancing the arguments for the amended International Health Regulations (IHR 2005), including the Pandemic Treaty – not yet validated. There is a reason for putting WHO in charge of “climate change”; it can legalise any disease and p(l)andemic, thus, justifying a Global Health Order, erasing national health sovereignties. This is the goal that hasn’t been achieved yet.
In short, WHO is treating Europe’s current wildfire crisis not just as a disaster response issue, but as a climate‑driven health emergency that requires sustained investments and preventive actions, like the revised 2005 IHR, with Pandemic Treaties, aiming at global health‑systems adaptation.
Let us just trust that human spirituality and wisdom will never allow this to happen, to have international organisations, many of them eugenicist entities, reign and control human societies.

In addition to the possibility of the fires being deliberately set, there is also the almost complete cessation of fire prevention. Fire breaks used to be commonplace, but no more, allowing fires to grow unimpeded.
It’s not just a possibility. Last year, when fires erupted in Canada, the govt said it was arson in most cases. They said they searched for the arsonists but couldn’t find them. This year many causes are given, but nature is the main one. (Right — the evil nature of the globalists and their hirelings.)
The fires destroy Canada’s huge forests. The smoke chokes the US. Two birds with one stone.

About 10 years ago I had the pleasure of enjoying the Rocky Mountaineer train from Vancouver to Calgerary Canada when the train luckily passed through a developing forest fire are with the train line immediately adjacent to a massive river. Locals on the train discussed with us “because of the Green political movement approach, water from the vast river could NOT be used in fire fighting as ‘naturally’ that water HAD TO travel to the sea” etc! etc! All the while the fires devistated the country-side including land containing forests!!!! Burned out tree trunks pointed sky wards from previous fires – left to burn themselves out – and eventually rot away!
Do humans drink water, delivered from heaven, with the surplus likely ending up in gardens, troughs, tanks, streams and rivers etc? That was referred to as selective greed!!!!!!
Even lightening can cause fires!
Seems like a human shambles to me!!!

you guys remember Jeremy Clarkson showing us a cloud generator back in early 2000’s ? just saying, if there is a will there is a way, but not when that power is in demonic hands…..
They Are Setting The Stage To Bring ,
The Anti-Christ…
Smoke and Mirrors and Pony Show and Circuses…..
Look up Dane Wigington on his
Geoengineering website ,,
Dane Proved The United States Military was Deliberately Involved in Fires by his investigations awhile back….
They Manipulate the weather also , To make people fearful , and use the fear to control the masses of people….
It’s a messed up world……
Revelation Chapter 18 is The United States…
Washington State just arrested an arsonist for the fire in Spokan. Weather weapons of various kinds are being used by governments so they can cry global warming. They cause the disasters and then claim to be the saviors. No there is no such thing as evolution! God created the heavens and the earth, and Adam and Eve in 6 literal days and rested on the seventh day-less than 6,000 years ago.
