A touch tendentious: fire fighting is massively advanced compared to the early record years.
Forest fires in California and elsewhere devastating But nowhere near record About 1/5th of US wildfire record https://www.facebook.com/bjornlomborg/photos/a.221758208967.168468.146605843967/10156121084368968/?type=3&theater …pic.twitter.com/xfkhjmC3iC

Yes, reduction due to massive fire suppression But 1) important when talking about records 2) fire suppression⇒more stuff to burn⇒more fires

Due to improved firefighter technique which is powered by fossil fuels.

There’s a massive dropoff in that graph that coincides with the introduction of water bombers in the mid-1940s.

Haven't done the stats but by eye, fairly significant rise from the 1950s-80s. Is that despite continued increase suppression?

(1) I remain skeptical as to how this graph was constructed by the author of the 'Skeptical Enviromentalist.'

(2) This looks like two different graphs joined together somewhere between 1960-1970.

In 1966, the CL-215 was built, the first dedicated water bomber plane. One of the main reasons for that drop off is an increase in technology used to fight wildfires

The USA has maintained approx 750 million acres of forest since 1900. If Bjorn's graph were accurate, that would mean that more than HALF of existing forests in America burned from 1927 to 1937. Bjorn's numbers are clearly bogus, unscientific, and a lie.pic.twitter.com/1VmFMq5znA
