Tornado Alley (PROG)

[DesertDrifter]

your bullshit about wildfires is totally in error. if you go your "link" and go to the live link that supposedly goes to NIFC, (national interagency fire center), the link goes to a chinese site that is dead. you waste everyone's time when you just point to lies, since you have no credibility to start with.

the number of fires isn't even a relevant statistic anyway. your propaganda rag ignores the fact that the IMPACT from wildfires is measured in acres burned annually. wildfire's impact is measured by size of fires, acreage burned. you can have a thousand fires that are 10 feet by 10 feet due to lightning on wet fuelbeds and it has about zero impact compared to one 200,000 acre wind-driven stand replacement event. and the annual acreage burned has not declined, in fact it has escalated. you and your "source" are full of shit.

long term averages of acres burned is about 4 to 5 million acres annually. in recent years such as 2012, 9 million acres plus were burned.

remember, the significance of wildfire to your "point" is how much area is burned in terms of impact. try some facts on for size, instead of your dead links and blatant distortions.
