Original Note:
Wildfires worldwide have decreased since the 1930's. If climate change were the primary driver of fires then fires worldwide would be increasing, not falling. The 1930's coincided with higher heat index temperatures than today. Heat index: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/heat-wave-index-usa Fires: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-03838-0
