Wild Fires in Argentina

On top of that the carbon dioxide emissions from wildfires have increased dramatically in the last 20 years, making the conditions for more wildfires more likely. Another example of a positive feedback loop being created in the climate crisis.
Why just go back 20 years? There's data going back much further than that certainly in the USA.. government policy around the world is causing the current slight rise in burn acreage. Banning of controlled burns being a major problem.

This is especially sad when you consider that we prevented teh planet being uninhabitable by around 2050 due to our decimation of the Ozone layer. A perfect example of listening to our best and brightest, international co-operation and regulation of business to prevent disaster. It's such a positive story and yet we ignore other messages.
Ah ... but the ozone layer action didn't directly impact the string pulling oil producers. That's why we were allowed to fix it.

It's awful for the Argentinians, Canadians, Australians, South Europeans, West Coast US .... its practically every damn continent now.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHA LAD, STOP BEEING A SHEEP LAD

DEY ARE JUST MAKING STUFF UP SO YOU PAY MORE TAXES, DEY WANT TO CONTROL YOU LAD

HAVE YOU EVEN SEEN BARACKAKA OBAMA AND A FOREST FIRE IN THE SAME PLACE? ITS JUST AI LAD.

THEY START THESE FIRES WITH LAZER BEAMS FROM SPACE

WAKE UP
Fair point.. I actually have never seen that... on to something there.
 

Those look like images from when they barely kept Gatlinburg, TN from burning to the ground a few years back. Very ugly stuff.

Bar graphs can be deceiving. What you're seeing there looks like the result of three causes: deforestation, modern forest management techniques and climate change.

If we chop down all the forests to do things like build houses and plant crops, there are fewer acres for nature and humans to start fires in. We became smarter about preventing wildfires by doing things like clearing potential fuel and engaging in controlled burns after World War II. That stuff hasn't changed much in recent years, so the rise from the trough in the '70s and '80s has to be caused by something else. That's most likely climate change, which yields more, and more severe, thunderstorms to ignite wildfires with lightning.
 

It's too late.

Humans should've paid attention 30 years ago when science demonstrated all the warning signs.

We could very well be the cause of our own extinction- or at very least, massive decline. The only question is how long?
You are probably correct. We can't stop nor co-operate. Greed and desire for power leads to wars which are constant. Pumping money into vulnerable areas gets eaten by corrupt regimes. We will face real mass migration which is impossible to accept. Some will survive, glad I will be dead.

Sad to say this us my hope too. Think I'll see a whole lot of misery in the world first though.
