While I don't doubt that the production forests planted by the Swedish wood industry may accelerate the speed at which the fires spread, the main cause plain and simple is the extremely hot summer. Forest fires are not even the only problem - European farmers currenty are sweating bullets because the (by EU standards) extreme heat is posed to produce severe crop failures.

They have to blame somebody, and they can't blame the illegals who started the fires, because that would be so politically incorrect, so they blame the forest industry.

Could it sometimes be those two...combined?
