It is not difficult to understand why this graph will not be shown in mainstream media, where almost constant disinformation suggests wildfires are increasing due to human-caused climate change.

She went on to suggest that a retreat by cautious holiday makers on the Greek island of Rhodes was \u201cwhat climate refugees look like\u201d. Never to be outdone when it comes to pouring Ultra Processed News into the mainstream diet, the&nbsp;<em>Guardian<\/em>&nbsp;observed that the lesson from Greece is that the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2023\/jul\/31\/greece-wildfires-climate-crisis-developed-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">climate crisis is coming for us all<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Homewood also notes a December 2024 BBC World Service broadcast that referred to deadly wildfires raging in countries like Spain, Canada and Greece. \u201cAnd as the Earth warms up, they\u2019re becoming increasingly common and harder to deal with,\u201d it claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, the factual details from Greece are unlikely to feature in any future Net Zero-inspired messaging. As can be seen, 2023 was a particularly bad year for fires but last year came in around the average. Discerning a human hand behind the regular ups and downs of Greek wildfires is not immediately apparent.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"601\" height=\"356\" data-attachment-id=\"367683\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=367683\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-548.png?fit=601%2C356&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"601,356\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-548.png?fit=601%2C356&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-548.png?resize=601%2C356&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-367683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-548.png?w=601&amp;ssl=1 601w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-548.png?resize=300%2C178&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Homewood notes: \u201cThe BBC \u2013 the place where facts go to die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last Saturday, the\u00a0<em>Daily Sceptic<\/em>\u00a0published the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailysceptic.org\/2025\/02\/22\/sensational-findings-published-in-nature-blow-politicised-wildfire-climate-scam-out-of-the-water\/\">sensational findings<\/a>\u00a0of a group of scientists working for the USDA Forestry Service that found the United States and Canada were currently running a massive \u2018fire deficit\u2019 compared to the recent past. Examining tree fire scar data going back to 1600 they found that recent fires were running at a rate of only 23%\u00a0compared to the historical record. Areas burned by wildfires during the last few decades \u201cremain relatively low\u201d, they noted. Non-fire years\u00a0were found to occur \u201csignificantly more often\u201d in the contemporary period\u00a0than in the historic record.\u00a0Alarmists of course were alert to the dangers posed by such inconvenient findings. One pre-publication reviewer saw the possibility of it being drawn to the attention of climate change deniers. \u201cConsider if possible, some rephrasing to put even more emphasis on impact rather than burned areas,\u201d was the helpful suggestion. In other words, dial down the facts a tad, and a bit more please on all the fleeing refugees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is little doubt that humans have intervened to disturb the natural wildfire processes, not by changing the climate but by altering land use, while variously clearing forest debris or letting it accumulate. In addition, a role sometimes downplayed is an apparent rise in human fire-raising, whether deliberate or accidental. Given the facts and complexities surrounding wildfires, the attempts to attribute it to humans somehow changing the climate is little short of risible. Even the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has ruled out human involvement, both in the past and going forward to the turn of the century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023 the climate world was rocked when the scientist Patrick Brown\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefp.com\/p\/i-overhyped-climate-change-to-get-published\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blew the whistle<\/a>\u00a0on a paper, he had published in\u00a0<em>Nature<\/em>\u00a0that focused exclusively on how climate change has affected extreme wildfire behaviour. \u201cI left out the full truth to get my climate change paper published,\u201d he admitted, adding: \u201cTo put it bluntly, climate science has become less about understanding the complexities of the world and more about serving as a kind of Cassandra, urgently warning the public about the dangers of climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, what news of the great olive oil drought in Spain that has restricted supplies for the last couple of years? Fears for the future of the local olive oil industry have grown \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2023\/jul\/17\/olive-oil-industry-in-crisis-europe-heatwave-threatens-another-harvest-spain-prices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as the climate crisis worsens<\/a>\u201d stated the&nbsp;<em>Guardian<\/em>&nbsp;in July 2023.
