David HoThis is not normal.
JC 🪐💾🌄📚@davidho As a data vis guy, a chart only showing 7 previous years for something as long-term as the climate and forest fires is not very useful and borderline misleading depending on what previous decades show. I understand there might not be satellite data going back much further but that just means it's not a good source of data for long-term trends.

og_of_bashan@jcdenton @davidho 20 years and average is visible here: https://nitter.lacontrevoie.fr/m_parrington/status/1667445233401954305#m - this is carbon emissions, not hectares burnt though. The dataset this is based upon (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service global biomass burning emissions based on fire radiative power) starts in 2003.

@og_of_bashan That's a little better, thanks.
