What can you tell me about wildfires. ...?
... in the context of global warming?
Question repeated due to the activities of the troll.
So what can you tell me about them?
Whatever you call them; wildfires, brushfires, bushfires etc. Why do they occur and why, (assuming they are) are they expected to increase in a warming environment? Is there any evidence, so far, that they are increasing, either in number or intensity?
Looking at the news, in California, the Amazon and currently Australia, it certainly seems that way ...

Wildfires have a range of causes, the ones we are having here in Australia are driven by very long drought, current warmer than average temps. Local firefighters have been battling these fires for months they started far early than our more usual fire season.

Just a few weeks ago a denier here tried to claim Australia was cooling, of course they denier claim happened within days of two Australian capital cities breaking their al time highest temp records.
