Peoples perceptions are not necessarily reality. Widely held perception of increasing fire and fire impacts at the global and some regional scales is not well supported by the realities. Indeed wildfires have decreased by 24% since 1998. The IPCC has never drawn any link between CO2 emissions, human attribution, droughts and wildfires. The BOM has a very good explanation for cyclical weather events and droughts which are related to natural systems. The ‘wildfire problem’ or 'extreme climate change problem' is essentially more a social than a natural one.
