A good round up of some of the mainstream media forest fire nonsense in the past couple or three months. This came out as the generic "Catastrophe! The Rainforest is Burning Down" reporting perhaps a month ago. It all turns out to be misreporting. Fires by number and acreage are down. Reforestation is up. 70% of the fires are in Africa. I have seen enough of the independently sourced refutations to believe that they are likely accurate.
From NASA: Global Wildfires Drop By 25% Since 2003 – Plus Study finds Earth’s tree cover increased by 7% since 1982 from Climate Depot. Worth checking the whole post as it addresses many related claims.
