New Data Absolutely Destroys Media Claims of ‘Climate Change is Causing More Wildfire’​

The media, politicians, and climate activists like to claim that climate change is making wildfires more frequent and larger. The linkage is the supposed relationship with increasing global atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration due to the burning of fossil fuels and the belief that we will suffer increased effects; hotter temperatures, more drought, and increased wildfires as a result of those two elements increasing.

Here are some examples of the media pushing this:

If any of you are afraid that we are destroying the planet you need to get help.... This planet has been here way longer than we have and it will be here way longer than we will....
Don't let the elite get rich by making your life harder... stop being fooled.... stop handing them your freedom....

Communist arsonists are causing more wildfires . . .

Nope... Simply La Niña flow aloft conditions which dry out this region. Climatic data shows that drought lasting longer than 100 years are common for this region. With some occasional help from idiot humans...

Lol...yep...Old Rocks has been contending for years it's drought due to climate change.

Drrrrrr

Drrrrrr

Old Crock is clueless...

I want to see him in about three years after a step decrease in global temps happens this next year. The alarmists are going to be apoplectic...

That data includes includes agricultural burning, so it can't be used as a guide to wildfires.

Sweet Jeebus, you deniers are stupid. You constantly fail at the most basic things, and you're so proud of being clueless.

You didn't refute anything just scream and run.

The article and several articles in the link by the media are all about WILDFIRES.

Try reading the article instead.

 

[mamooth]

The article and several articles in the link by the media are all about WILDFIRES.

The article by your really dumb source claims that, yes. The study doesn't.

The data cited wasn't about just wildfires. It measured every fire of every sort, including the massive agricultural burning that goes on every year, but they pretended it only measured wildfires.

Your heroes lied about what the study meant. That propaganda fooled the low-IQ crowd, like it always does.

You continue to ignore what the article says which is why you don't quote it.

You don't know what PBS, NTY and UNEP are saying about GLOBAL WILDFIRES and the actual total fires trend is and that the article you didn't read doesn't differentiate the types of fires for their chart at all.

You write,

That data includes includes agricultural burning, so it can't be used as a guide to wildfires.

You simply make it up without any numbers to support your statement which is why you don't have a case here.

You didn't see the chart in the link either...

 

[mamooth]

the article you didn't read doesn't differentiate the types of fires for their chart at all.

At least you're moving closer to the point. Let's see if we can get you over the line.

If the data doesn't differentiate between wildfires and agricultural burning, how can you use that data to claim wildfires are decreasing?

Answer: You can't, yet your heroes said they did.

NASA themselves said it was decreasing since 2000 no differentiation of fire types was talked about either.

It is only YOU who is creating this smoke since none of the media did it neither (as I pointed out earlier) did NASA and neither did the European Agency.

NONE of them!

It is YOU who is pushing a RED HERRING.

"A red herring is something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important question."

You run on deflection tactics every day.

Here's what NASA actually says.

Ha ha that is ONE year in ONE region while NASA covered 21 years showing a DECLINING worldwide fire trend.

There has been no global increase in the number of wildfires … here’s the NASA satellite data.

I keep pointing out your conclusion is garbage because it includes agricultural burning.

In response, you keep repeating the same garbage.

In which no one else talks about since the data covers ALL fires regardless of what caused it but since it is the media endlessly saying WILDFIRES in their screaming's along with the usual warmist/alarmist idiots talking about it so much it is all that seems to matter.

Your Red Herring deflection is exposed you are not fooling anyone here.

Building a Long-Term Record of Fire​

Excerpt:

The control of fire is a goal that may well be as old as humanity, but the systematic monitoring of fire on a global scale is a much newer capability.

In the 1910s, the U.S. Forest Service began building fire lookout towers on mountain peaks in order to detect distant fires. A few decades later, fire-spotting airplanes flew onto the scene. Then in the early 1980s, satellites began to map fires over large areas from the vantage point of space.

They show a decline in global fires since 2003

 

[Sunsettommy]

It appears that the lone warmist/alarmist kook finally realize posting several stupid red herring postings was a losing argument to run on.

Fact remains unchallenged that Worldwide fires since 2020 are in decline which has not been disputed even by the brainless CO2 sniffing cultist kook in the thread.
