Climate Doom

Indeed, people never smoked or camped in the forest in the 50s.

Are you sure?

Great, we've got 2 CCC (Climate Change Cretins) to totally disagree with each other. Do carry on chaps.

Hurricanes making it to US land at about the same rate as they have in the last few hundred years. Since 2000, the number of major landfall hurricanes globally has increased.

(The apparent reduction since 1930 is just cherry picking).

This graph of hurricanes globally per year shows a different picture:
Well. There's FA that we mere mortals can do about it, so really I couldn't give a toss. I live at 315m above sea level, so at least I'm not going to find the sea making my feet wet.

And then you get environmentalist morons who think nuclear is bad and making charcoal is good!

How will we have BBQ's in the future? Not allowed gas, not allowed charcoal.

Wood? Biogas?

Forest fires are NOT just about ignition sources, those happen all the time. They are about how liable a spark is to start a fire, and how liable the fire is to spread. I follow a channel which talks about wild-land fire-fighting, there's quite a lot of science behind this stuff. Fires are a normal, natural thing but how common and how large and how hard to contain they are varies according to many factors... moisture being a big one.

But far far less in the 50s. In the 50s I could walk through the New Forest without seeing anyone all day. These days it is jammed full and busier than the High Street.

I didn't realise a)the New Forest was an area notable for north American forest fires b)you were in your 70s/80s.
You don't seem to grasp the scale and emptiness of the USA.

The data prior to 1985 is not reliable. You notice the step change in the satellite era, when all storms can be picked up.

In terms of frequency, studies have consistently shown “no discernible trend in the global number of tropical cyclones.” In addition, authors of a 2013 study found no human-caused signal in annual global tropical cyclone or hurricane frequencies.
