France arrests 162 people over wildfire outbreaks

France has announced the arrest of 162 people in connection with starting fires, as wildfires continue across Europe. Critics are seizing on the figure to argue that deliberate arson, rather than climate change, is behind at least some of the blazes, pushing back against mainstream media coverage that links the fires to a warming climate.
Why now: The arrest figure fuels an ongoing debate over whether Europe's wildfires are caused by arson or climate change
