You can’t change the subset of arsonists who are sexually aroused by fire. But you can steer their inclinations into furthering an agenda. Hype wildfires in the news with lurid footage on big screen television and you’ll get these sickos masturbating as well as fantasizing about seeing fires they themselves set on television. Blame wildfires on climate change in the news and you’ll encourage these sickos with confidence that they’ll get away with setting wildfires because the wildfires will be attributed to climate change instead. Keep the vicious cycle of more wildfires inspiring more wildfires, and the burning will keep getting worse every year until the population will be smoked into submission to draconian climate change laws.
Not to mention people hundreds or even thousands of miles away who may suffer grievous, even fatal illness, contracted from particulate matter in wildfire smoke, that containing VOCs and carcinogens. These firebugs need to be deterred with capital punishment, and not encouraged by light sentences and global warming hype (which serves to stoke their pyrophilia as well as confidence that their fires will be blamed on global warming rather than their acts).
Imagine the propaganda jackpot for climate change if this guy succeeded in getting firefighters entrapped and killed by the flames, and arson had never been discovered.
