According to experts from University of Hawaii’s Ecosystem Extension Program and wildfire specialist Clay Trauernicht, the increase in fires can be attributed to nonnative grasses growing on what used to be farmland and sprawling plantations in Maui since 1990s.
Now that agriculture has been pulled off this land it is being filled with burnable fuels which no one appears to be doing anything about.
This is similar to what happened in California where environmentalists thought they were helping by preventing forests from being cleared but ironically it made matters worse as debris made wildfires spread faster.
Although global warming is often blamed for such disasters most people who are experienced with dealing with them know that isn’t necessarily always true although it does remain a factor that shouldn’t be ignored either way. https://libertyonenews.com/maui-wildfires-caused-by-nonnative-grasses-grown-on-abandoned-farmland/?utm_source=L1%20Newsletter%201&utm_medium=email&utm_content=subscriber_id:62136875&utm_campaign=Breaking:%20We%20Now%20Know%20The%20Shocking%20Truth%20Behind%20The%20Maui%20Fires
