Original Note:
An increase of wildfires in many regions has been linked to climate change: Australia: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-27225-4 California: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2019EF001210 Western USA: https://www.earth.columbia.edu/articles/view/3343 https://www.c2es.org/content/wildfires-and-climate-change/ Using worldwide data obfuscates causal relationships. For example during the last decades human made deforestation decreased a lot (which often uses fire). https://ourworldindata.org/deforestation
