From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

Research has revealed that wildfires are on the decline, despite the mainstream narrative that they have increased because of “climate change.”
Danish author and academic Bjorn Lomborg’s analysis, published in the Wall Street Journal, reveals a large disparity between the actual number of wildfires and the concern raised over them by the mainstream media and politicians.
“Climate change hasn’t set the world on fire,” Lomborg declared. “It turns out the percentage of the globe that burns each year has been declining since 2001.”
Lomborg’s claim is confirmed by the satellite data from the Global Wildfire Information System, which records a consistent decline in the extent of burned areas since the early 2000s.
“In the early 2000s, 3% of the world’s land area burned each year. Last year, fire burned 2.2% of the world’s land area, a new record low,” Lomborg stated.
“Yet you would struggle to find that reported anywhere,” he added.
However, despite wildfires occurring less often, reporting on “climate change” has increased by 400% between 2010 and 2020.
Lomborg pointed out that while satellites reveal that the world is burning less, the media continues to claim that there are more fires as a result of “climate change.”
“This falsely scares everyone,” Lomborg declared. “And that’s not okay.”
