Well it seems that wooden villages in norway are burning down. Yes, villages, not houses, neighborhoods.

First Lærdal lost 20 or so buildings, now Håsavåg, Småværete and Flatanger are adding between 50-70 houses.

Still not a peep about open fire places, wood stoves and and insufficient fire department coverage in rural areas. Norway is burning.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Amusing considering the last thread about Norway I remember here was about that joy of wood burning TV show.

the coast guard with it's water cannons can't actually get close enough to the villages that are burning.

Finally karma strikes.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

I went to look this up and there were many stories about this happening in another village earlier this month.

Is there a drought or something? Why is this suddenly happening now?

Not a drought. Droughts don't happen in Norway. What is happening was a sudden cold spike starting mid january.

Nobody in norwegian media has brought the cause up or speculated as to what it might have been yet. I am speculating that it is related to open fire places and wood burning stoves. This winter has been mild until mid january so I suspect that many of these fire places were being used for the first time this winter.

I didn't read this right the first time. I'm not advocating a ban. I'd advocate education.

However, the municipal authorities in the nearby coastal counties have now instituted a ban on open flames in the outdoors. The wind coupled with the lack of snow on the ground is now being blamed for the fires.
