NASA: There's Been 'an Overall Drop in Natural and Human-Caused Fires Worldwide'

Although the liberal media are reporting that fires in the Amazon and in Africa apparently are the result, to some degree, of climate change and that the Amazon produces 20% of the world’s oxygen, data from NASA show that fires globally have fallen 24% since 1998.

Further, Forbes reports that burning fossil fuels has not contributed in any significant way to the depletion of the world’s oxygen supply.

“Using NASA satellites to detect fires and burn scars from space, researchers have found that an ongoing transition from nomadic cultures to settled lifestyles and intensifying agriculture has led to a steep drop in the use of fire for land clearing and an overall drop in natural and human-caused fires worldwide,” the NASA Earth Observatory reported.

It must be global cooling. Climate change!

The media’s SOP is point and sputter. There’s seldom any context, except cherry-picked stats that leave out the primary trend.

Aha! I was waiting for some actual data to come along about this “Amazon fires” story. Just what I expected it to reveal. It was all propaganda.

I heard this most excellent rant by George Carlin on Levin yesterday:

Thanks fieldmarshaldj.

Now that’s good forest management. With more of that there would be fewer gigantic fires in the west.
