Very close. Yes.

But also notice the total acres have gone up per forest fire since the Clinton Administration. This is because the foresters were not allowed to groom and maintain the forests and maintain the roads where they could get firefighting equipment to a forest fire.

We have one on this site that applauds that action, yet he was almost burned out. It came up to his yard. This shows what intelligence the 'saviors of the earth' have in general. "EVERYTHING FOR THE CAUSE."

If you include the data so far for 2013 the chart looks as below.

The year to date figures for the most recent decade are here:

2013 (1/1/13 - 9/27/13) Fires: 38,745 Acres: 4,092,640

2012 (1/1/12 - 9/27/12) Fires: 47,991 Acres: 8,720,743

2011 (1/1/11 - 9/27/11) Fires: 60,137 Acres: 7,718,003

2010 (1/1/10 - 9/27/10) Fires: 49,442 Acres: 2,776,292

2009 (1/1/09 - 9/27/09) Fires: 71,395 Acres: 5,587,015

2008 (1/1/08 - 9/27/08) Fires: 67,734 Acres: 4,732,981

2007 (1/1/07 - 9/27/07) Fires: 71,953 Acres: 8,159,133

2006 (1/1/06 - 9/27/06) Fires: 83,240 Acres: 9,026,770

2005 (1/1/05 - 9/27/05) Fires: 52,813 Acres: 8,156,770

2004 (1/1/03 - 9/27/04) Fires: 60,656 Acres: 7,736,637

So the announcement was a bit premature but it looks promising nonetheless.



Yes - they had the fewest forest fires in 1983 according to your data.

Did Obama say otherwise ? I bet his Reptilian masters made him do it.,

Now run along & let one of the other patients play with the computer

Not according to your data - and exactly what connecttion does the President have with it.

You're just trying to make Deniers look stupid, huh?

They really don't need any help. In fact, they might be at their most stupid in three decades.

I guess they have arrested and jailed a lot of West Coast arsonists.

you give Americans a bad name, we're not all that stupid.

or is our dear leader Obozo lying to us?
