LOL, you guys have a really sensitive "climate denial sensor". I am about as critical of ignorant consumerism as it gets. For example I do not think millions of people need to travel >200 miles a day. But I am also aware that reducing consumerism is associated with a risk of mass unemployment and social unrest. Nonetheless I desire context. It's just my need as a nerd to get the full picture rather than "look at this scary context-less number".

You want the full picture, yet post a graph that starts at 2014?

It's not an agenda. News sometimes miss important context.

The Brazilian forest fires this year are a good example. It took weeks until we learned that the forest fires are not significantly worse than previous years. Brazil has been burning at the same rate for many years.

Pretending that fires have gone up 10x[] this year is an agenda, too

[]Yeah made up number, not the point

it starts in 2014 and shows a pretty clear upward trend for such a short time period
