That graph is disingenuous because it stops in 2006. I'd like to see how 2010-2020 stacks up. Most of the largest wildfires in CA occurred between 2015 and 2020.

Whatever that means?

The real reason is because 1983 was a low burn year and if you start your chart at the lowest point and erase prior year data points it looks like burn acreage is increasing. It's not. Burn acreage was MUCH worse in the 1920s and 1930s when CO2 concentrations were lower.
