The World Meteorological Organization called the wildfires now burning around the Arctic "unprecedented." The United Nations agency noted that over 100 intense fires burned in the Arctic Circle alone over the past six weeks, releasing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than Sweden does in an entire year.

Who was monitoring the situation during the medieval warm period? If we only could have a mile of ice covering Chicago like a 12,000 years ago things would be ok.

In the 20s and 30s 50+ million acres would burn on average in the US.. This year it’s been less than 20% of that (including Alaska). When they set up fire prevention in Alaska in the late 1930s (because fires were so prevalent) they noted over 225 million of the 336 million acres weren’t covered by glaciers and needed fire protection.

But you keep using meaningless hyperbole to try and scare people into thinking this is new and sudden and due to global warming...
