@GadSaad Reporting isn't science. There's plenty that shows fires are increasing and why. Read these and think. https://t.co/DfiHS11AQS https://t.co/pNVbjNuzIo https://t.co/ZMSy2bWoDi
This study was motivated by prior work showing that 21st-century fire activity in the southern Rocky Mountains of N. Colorado and S. Wyoming exceeded the average and maximum rate of burning over the past 2000 yr, in large part due to the 2020 fire season:
@EHill73 @JimFish56837379 @TonyClimate If you *really* drill down into the data (instead of merely pretending to), the answer is yes.
@FrancisChartra3 @official_poseur @TonyClimate High elevation subalpine forests in the USWest haven’t been affected by fire suppression practices, but are now burning much more frequently than they have historically. https://t.co/5Yx5TEcczH
@official_poseur @FrancisChartra3 @TonyClimate Indeed. Here is hard research to back that up. https://t.co/eC8kZJU2EP https://t.co/5Yx5TEcczH https://t.co/dFdN7mGxn7
@EricHolst Having said that, quite a bit of research coming out indicating that climate change is now the 'top-down' driver most controlling fire effects. Here's one example from Rocky Mtns --https://t.co/5caOyXmNYS

@GovGianforte It sometimes works, but sometimes not. The underlying cause of increased wildfire activity is climate change. Today's fires spread further and faster, and fire season is over a month longer. You're funded by Big Oil, so you ignore this, at

What can we learn from these records? Well, this project is ongoing, but we used similar lake-sediment records in subalpine forests from northern Colorado to show that 21st-century burning has exceeded fire activity over the past 2,000 years: https://t.co/
