“Face it, climate change is NOT leading to more fires and more severe fires across much of North America …”. ==================================== (USDA Forest Service). “… the Canadian fire record prior to the early 1970s is incomplete, as various regions of the country (particularly in the north) were not consistently monitored during this period. For example, the Yukon and Northwest Territories have only reported burned areas since 1946, while the province of Newfoundland began reporting in 1947. It is expected that incomplete records are much more of a problem prior to 1950, and the advent of satellite coverage in the early 1970s has resulted in a virtually complete record over the past 3 decades …”: Chris Hanley says: May 6, 2016 at 9:58 pm Given the US trend graph above it’s reasonable to infer that over the post-WW2 years the response to wildfires has lessened the risk greatly so here is a question for Luke: If your statement:”… climate change is leading to more fires and more severe fires across much of North America ..” were true, what would be the more rational use of available national wealth?: (a) invest in more and better firefighting resources, better inspection, monitoring and quicker response capability and the like … or … (b) build many more windmills?
