"2020 has been a year of extremes when it comes to wildfires. The Arctic and US saw record high levels of activity during the summer, whilst Canada and tropical Africa saw record lows. These lows have contributed to 2020 so far being one of the least active years since Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS*) records begin in 2003.
CAMS data show a generally decreasing trend since 2003, with 2020 one of the lowest years on record."

It is good to see that your handler is moving you away from the questionable WWW sites towards more reliable sources of information.
If you recall, I brought up the California wildfires as an example of climate change, ACC. You tried to downplay that. What the site says about US Western wildfires is
CAMS data revealed that the scale and magnitude of the fires were tens to hundreds of times higher than the 2003–2019 average for the country as a whole and for affected states.
In other words, I was right about it. It is even more evident after the 2021 season, which is not over.
(Not only that, but the season has been dampened this week by the deluges from an “atmospheric river”, a phenomenon which I can't recall happening in fifty years. Note that I am not suggesting such phenomena are unprecedented, as the recent fires are. The Great Flood of January 1862 was caused by one, called the “Pineapple Express” because it flowed NNE from the region of Hawaii.)
Whereas, the quote above talks about “lows” and “least active years” and “generally decreasing trend”. Of what? Perhaps you would care to say?
[Hodgkins, Journal of Hydrology 2017] compelling evidence for increased flooding at a global scale is lacking.
However, it shows that occurrence of such events is very likely not CAGW-related.
This is a non-sequitur.
