I was interested in an article about forest fire in Florida.

Rick Scott who is the governor of Florida, gave declaration of emergency because there were more than 100 of forest fires. About 8000 hectares burns by a series of fires and the total spread of a fire area after this year begins reaches 28000 hectares. As for the spread of a fire area by the forest fire of from January to March in this year, 2.5 doubles in comparison with the same period a year ago.

I was surprised by this article and researched the causes of forest fire. There are 2 main causes, artificial one and natural one. Artificial cause is like an arson or mismanagements of cigarettes and bonfires. Natural cause is like thunder or drying.

By the way, some experts think that global warming is a main cause of recent fires. Because if temperature goes up by 1 degree, it is necessary for precipitation to go up by 15%, also 12% of activity of the thunder increases.

I didn’t know global warming relates forest fire so I reconfirmed the importance of preventing global warming.
