- Wildfires are more extreme in Europe and North America, but global burning is oddly decreasing
Wildfires in Europe and North America are becoming more extreme, but global fire emissions are at a record low due to reduced burning in Africa and Asia. Experts attribute the paradox to human-driven changes in fire management and land use, with carbon emissions from fires now about half of early 2000s levels.

Wildfires in Europe and North America are becoming more extreme, but global fire emissions are at a record low due to reduced burning in Africa and Asia. This paradox is attributed to human-driven changes in fire management and agricultural practices in Africa and Asia, which offset increases in other regions.
