Wonder how much man made climate change has to do with this.

Ask Jeremy Corbyn's brother. He seems to be an expert.

Standard response. Why don't you indulge us with a response that nvolves at least a semblance of intellect.

RIP the victims.

But Jeremy's brother seems to think that man made warming is a myth.
Do you find that embarrassing? His brother probably does, since it's another thing he can claim to be campaigning against in the name of 'hope' and 'the people'. It must be a bit wearing for him since he seems to have campaigned against almost every bill that was ever put before Parliament for the last 25 years.

I have all the intellect I need to see through you and your faux sympathy, as do many others it seems.

....or was it just the dying embers from a barbeque or a discarded cigarette end.

yep, could well have been just like a possible malfunctioning electrical appliance causing the fire in west London.

It's already official confirmed by forensic police that the cause of this terrible disaster was dry thunderstorm. 3 main variables played part in this result: winds plus 30km/h, temperaturas at 40's, and humidity below 30%. On top of that the conditions of terrain very accented led to very fast propagation of fire.

After a hot spell, dry areas ignite very easily. It is a constant risk in the hot months even in Southern France. Seeing burnt areas of fields is a common sight and tourists might not be as aware of the risks as the locals are.
I have a Portuguese friend who I will speak to and see what she knows.,

Not confirmed necessarily....

"It is not yet known what caused the fire, however Mr Costa said thunderstorms could have been one possible cause"

Taken from the latest BBC update

In this one decisively yes!
Even if most of our fires are man made.
There's another factor related with private owners neglected their forests.
