The press is lying about "record forest fires" - just like they do about everything else.

I drilled down a little on this forest fire data. I would believe them more if they could link to real data. It might exist. There may be an annual forest service publication that contains the original data. What they are saying is "So it appears that much of the pre-1960 data were related to incendiary forest fires (per http://www.interfire.org/features/wildfires.asp, an incendiary fire is one that is set intentionally) and not to true wildfires." https://andthentheresphysics.wordpress.com/2015/10/30/the-mysterious-wildfire-chart/ In a recent comment here, Dr. Conners reports that she has worked on tracking the graph down independently. I think it’s at least important enough to quote in full in a top level article here. Thanks for linking to my blog on wildfires. I spent some time tracking down the original source for the pre-1960 wildfire data that you linked to in the footnote of your blog—the original source for the U.S. Forest Service graph was “America’s Renewable Resources: Historical Trends and Current Challenges,” which was published in 1991 by the non-profit organization Resources for the Future. The original graph is located on page 117 of Chapter 3, and the author (R. A. Sedjo) cites “U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, 1926–1967, Forest Fire Statistics, various annual issues,” as their data source. The author also cites “U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, 1968–1989, Wildfire Statistics, annual issues,” as their data source for post-1960 data. Unfortunately, the text of that document did not describe the data in detail.

Scary times we're living in. I'm glad at least some of us can see the writing on the wall. Tony, thank you for everything that you do. I've been thinking that YouTube was going to give you the ol' "violation of community standards" notification for a while now. You should have had a Play Button a year ago. They're working hard against you.

Thanks for the truth Tony. I do wonder what their agenda is, all this lying to us.
