“In fact, the trend for wildfires across North America has been on the decline for more than a century.”
Well I am not a century old yet but getting there and I disagree with this statement.
We have witnessed the effects of California fires and Canada fires the last 5 years then ever before.
I think the trend for man-made arson fires are on the rise, especially in CA.
These CA fires, for the most part, are not an act of nature.
