I’d have agreed with you a decade ago. Having seen huge parts of North America reduced to ashes and embers in recent years - I feel like I can’t rule anything out.
Newfoundland is an island in the Atlantic ocean and this sits pretty close to shore. There is constant wind which kicks up the sea breeze, not to mention the perpetual moisture generated by the clashing currents. My point is that it’s wet 24/7. If it’s not raining then there’s fog. If there isn’t fog then there’s snow. Stuff doesn’t burn there. Trust me. I’ve tried. I grew up in NFLD and on the coast and you can’t get shit to burn for the life of you unless it is already extremely dead. So the chances of that location becoming an inferno are extremely low. The chances of it being submerged into the ocean due to rapidly shifting sea levels? Significantly higher and a consistently known thing for us in general.

Two things, how stable is the cliff? Also to their point there are a lot of dead pine trees in that picture.
