Minnesota and much of the northern United States have had some bad episodes of wildfire smoke so far this summer, much of it from Canada. The climate hysterics attempt to link it to climate change, but of course as usual that is misleading. They like to use a 40 year chart, starting in around 1983, for that purpose, as that appears to show a slight upward trend in acres burned. But as you can see, the reality is that far more acres burned in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. This may be due to more fires and/or less aggressive efforts to stop the fires. You would see a similar trend on number of fires. And of course in recent decades more fires have been started either intentionally or accidentally by people. In general following the massive wildfires last century, a policy was initiated in both the US and Canada that focused on preventing and stopping them, which both limited acres burned, but allowed the buildup of flammable material. Many experts have noted that the wildfire issues of recent years are in part due to this policy, which is in the process of being reversed. Occasional fires are not a bad thing for the forest and are part of the natural cycle. (Wildfire Data)
Climate science advocacy relies very heavily on cherrypicked data.
Almost every climate science expert will state that hurricane intensity will increase due to increasing sea surface temps (SST). They frequently use circa 1950 to prove their point.
Almost every hurricane expert ( not climate scientist expert) acknowledges that adjusting for observational deficiencies, there has been no trend in hurricane intensity, or frequency since circa 1850.
Since 1850, SST has obviously increased as the planet has warmed, yet the climate scientists claim hurricane intensity will increase. Oddly, there is 170+ years of data that says otherwise.
