I think the section of causes, human activities, ought to make a reference to climate change. It's the human activities that have resulted in increased CO2 levels in the atmosphere and hence higher temperatures which in itself has increased the risks of wildfire (see e.g. Australia as an example). The article does have a section on the effects of climate change later but does not mention it yet under causes. [[User:EMsmile|EMsmile]] ([[User talk:EMsmile|talk]]) 09:03, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Please add some info about and from this report to the article. It's currently featured in [[2022 in science]] like so:

I think that only including the above info in section #"Climate change effects" may be insufficient and that it would be good to add information about e.g./especially countermeasures, including (but not only) from this report.
Moreover, I think [[Effects of climate change#Wildfires]] ([[Talk:Effects of climate change|discuss]]) should also be expanded with brief info from this report.

Wildfire was one of the Natural sciences good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Expand : Reread cited refs to see if anything was missed. Can expand/find more info on prevention, especially with reference to building codes for homes on the wildland-urban interface. Eventually, split sections into articles as needed (e.g. Wildfire prevention and Wildfire detection much like Wildfire suppression).

Noticed the WRI-sponsored Global Forest Watch site provides detailed daily updates on fire alerts. This will be useful to readers. Have enquired if WRI will release a screen dump to Wikipedia. ASRASR (talk) 14:06, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
