NASA data refute leftist climate wildfire claims: Global fires dropped by 25% from 2003 to 2019

09/27/2020 / By Divina Ramirez

The blazing wildfires that have crept along the US west coast are the result of “climate change” and “global warming,” or so leftists and mainstream media would have people believe. Since lightning storms sparked fires across California last month, leftist groups have grown louder than before in blaming so-called climate change.

Mainstream media has also churned out article upon article about global fires being on the rise, with large swaths of forests in different parts of the world going up in flames at a historic pace. But these claims couldn’t be further from the truth. Recent scientific data shows just how little climate change has to do with the wildfires.

In particular, there has been a significant 25 percent decrease in global fires from 2003 to 2019, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Using its Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), NASA has monitored thousands of burning fires around the globe.

I see they are still discussing this article that came out in 2017, but I see that now they changed the date to 2019.

Burn less, baby, burn less

Humans have, and always have had, a major impact on wildfire activity, which is expected to increase in our warming world. Andela et al. use satellite data to show that, unexpectedly, global burned area declined by ∼25% over the past 18 years, despite the influence of climate. The decrease has been largest in savannas and grasslands because of agricultural expansion and intensification. The decline of burned area has consequences for predictions of future changes to the atmosphere, vegetation, and the terrestrial carbon sink.

Abstract

Fire is an essential Earth system process that alters ecosystem and atmospheric composition. Here we assessed long-term fire trends using multiple satellite data sets. We found that global burned area declined by 24.3 ± 8.8% over the past 18 years. The estimated decrease in burned area remained robust after adjusting for precipitation variability and was largest in savannas. Agricultural expansion and intensification were primary drivers of declining fire activity. Fewer and smaller fires reduced aerosol concentrations, modified vegetation structure, and increased the magnitude of the terrestrial carbon sink. Fire models were unable to reproduce the pattern and magnitude of observed declines, suggesting that they may overestimate fire emissions in future projections. Using economic and demographic variables, we developed a conceptual model for predicting fire in human-dominated landscapes.
