U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 1,389,500 fires. These fires resulted
in 3,005 civilian fire fatalities, 17,500 civilian fire injuries and an estimated
$11,659,000,000 in direct property loss. There was a civilian fire death every 208
minutes and a civilian fire injury every 30 minutes in 2011. Home fires caused 2,520,
or 84%, of the civilian fire deaths. Fires accounted for five percent of the 30,098,000
total calls. Eight percent of the calls were false alarms; sixty-six percent of the calls
were for aid such as EMS.
Number of Fires
• 1,389,500 fires were responded to by public fire departments, an increase
of 4.4% from the year before.
• 484,500 fires occurred in structures, a very slight increase of 0.5%.
• 370,000 fires or 76% of all structure fires occurred in home structures (1-
and 2- family homes and apartments), a very slight increase of 0.1%.
• 219,000 fires occurred in vehicles, a slight increase of 1.6% from the year
before.
• 686,000 fires occurred in outside properties, an increase of 8.2%.

You are being called out as a liar. There have been over a million fires last year in the US alone:

Knowingly telling false information is against T & C. If you continue to make false claims after information by myself, and others, debunks it, I will alert staff.

Jeez professor, keep ya goggles on ! It's not my website for starters. Did you also read that the methane was at a higher level that in the last 400,000 years. If you'll read back over what i've said so far in this thread I'm highly sceptical over imminent death though i do believe there is an ongoing methane release that could, long term, and the phrase to take notice of here is LONG TERM, prove problematic, I won't condescend and call you a kid though The lack of details for 1998 we're explained by the effect of el nino. Are you saying that methane levels haven't risen ?
Personally I thought the Op really blew any chance of being taken seriously with the whole moon bases thing.

And as I've always said, watch all the fires. Idaho's fire season was almost 100% worse year over year. If that continues, and it may, then in five years it will be 2X2X2X2X2 times worse than THIS year, or 32 times worse. And in ten years about 1000 times worse. Maybe it won't be that bad. Or maybe it'll be worse than that, a rapidly steepening hyperbolic curve. But the fires will be easier to survive than the poison gas anyway, or at least I think so.
Do you have any freaking clue how many factors must be considered for the increase in fires? What about DROUGHT. What about the rise in temperature?? What about the humidity levels? You're a fool who is blinded by his focus on a false premise. You keep looking, you're going to find evidence, because you have no real discernment, or skepticism towards your own idea.

That's not how a civilization survives though. That's just how a few people survive, for a while. For our civilization to survive then we'll have to think bigger. Seriously, the Moon is right there. It doesn't EVER have this cyclical methane-H2S extinction event problem. It's tectonically stable, so you can dig and drill all you want and not fear a volcano rising from under you and wiping you out. There's water there, which means O2 if you separate it out, plenty of solar power. In fact, if you eye the Japanese JAXA photos of the 'dark side' of the Moon, there are lots of areas that look like development is going on: right angles, squares, buildings, what looks like roads going from crater to crater (presumably to mine the water). I think that's us, building Plan B, because Plan A (living on the Earth's surface) is about to run out of time.

Ah sorry, he has taken over though so the confusion is easy to understand, though you may take it as proof that I'm insane and a debunker or however else you'd like to interpret it. If Jonny is right we're all dead anyway so best to get out there and enjoy Christmas and drink a whole load of booze.

What I'm saying is that Johnny claims fires are increasing this year, but you have no way to dispute him if your showing stats that end 2011. He clearly said February of this year. I don't see anything in your stats that says things haven't picked up since the beginning of this year.
