Both charts are interesting.

But deaths from climate catastrophes are likely to be lower from the early 20th century as a result of rural populations moving to cities, economic development and better management and prevention of human disasters.

Chart 2 shows that post war the US may have invested more resources in fire fighting that likely reduced the acres burned.

It also shows a clear trend of increase in in acres burned from the 1970s to 2010 which fits with the impact of climate change.

Its hard to draw any conclusions from the charts without taking in the multitude of factors that may be involved.

Maybe the climate change crazies should volunteer to leave the planet first since climate change is after all caused by humans. They are part of the problem, and no matter how much they curb their emissions, will still be ruining the planet. Us deniers promise to follow once they practice what they preach. Until then, F off.

I agree the first thing is empathy and support.

The prevailing thinking on Agriville is climate change is not occurring, no connection to forest fires, carbon emissions don't matter, business as usual.

No one season is an indicator of climate change. Forest and bush fires are complex. Normal weather variabilty plays a role. But it's obvious that a warming and drying climate trends such as what is occurring in Australia and on North America's west coast are going to lead to more and larger fires.

Because we have research and our own experience with fires in Canada I posted science from BC that shows a direct link between climate change and forest fires.

And I also posted 10 years of wildfire averages in BC

The response? No science to counter what I posted about BC.

You spent 3 to 5 years dodging, evading and avoiding questions regarding grain marketing.

It is blasphemous that you, who supposedly makes a living farmer, didn't put the same amount of time into researching and questioning the CWB practices, instead of taking one man's peer reviewed (farm joke of a lifetime) conclusions. You would not have to hide like a Nazi war criminal behind ChuckChuck and you could post pictures of your electric vehicles that we could all be in awe of and be less of a hypocrite than you are in here, every single day.

Huh? Of course it is. Deaths from any climate or natural disaster event are significantly reduced with our own progress in spite of the fact we have industrialized using FF and tripled the population. Its clear as day.

Humans have now progressed so far that they actually intervene in natural disasters preventing them from happening or lessening their impacts greatly.

THERE IS NO CRISIS

Solace for 500 million animals killed in Australia. Nothing to see here.

Did you shed a tear for the 4 million little kids that died last year on planet earth from disease, malnutrition, war and poverty? Or did you not know about that?

If you want to make an argument about overpopulation and people living in areas where they shouldn't due to risk to the local environment then by all means. And discuss what that actually means for fixing the problem because it wont be pretty.

But don't hide out under the guise of fake climate science.

Never listen to MSM hysteria, do some research.

Great replies guys! You DESTROYED "that person's" crap load of Climate horseshit!

Fires down, deaths down, what crisis? Enjoy living today, never been better, stop the scaremongering!

Only humans possess enough arrogance and hubris to think they can control and out-wit Mother Nature, on both sides of this painfully exhausting topic.

2020 will be the year to reflect on the past with perfect hindsight. Future predictions will carry on blindly.....as always.

There's very little content discussed here anymore that interests me or makes me want to be part of this forum.
It has completely lost its way.
