One of the most common tropes in our increasingly alarmist climate debate is that global warming has set the world on fire.
But it hasn’t.
For more than two decades, satellites have recorded fires across the planet’s surface.
The data are unequivocal: Since the early 2000s, when 3% of the world’s land caught fire, the area burned annually has trended downward.
In 2022, the last year for which there are complete data, the world hit a record low of 2.2% burned area.
Yet you’ll struggle to find that reported anywhere.
