  They actually do. You just don't know how to read the data properly. Here are some papers that might help you understand it better: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1305069110 https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1305069110 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38934256/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38934256/ BTW, the researcher you quoted, Justin Waito, explicitly warns against reading his historical data to mean modern fires are normal. He concluded that modern temperature increases are driving fire frequency to levels higher than anything seen in the last two millennia. Here is one of his papers on that: https://winnspace.uwinnipeg.ca/handle/10680/1749 https://winnspace.uwinnipeg.ca/handle/10680/1749 You can believe the consensus of the vast majority of scientists (99%) who have collectively spent 10's of millions of hours researching this space, or you can pretend you know better.
