I guess the primary issue with the video is the focus on US data (which is less alarming) rather than global data. Also for the forest fire data, after the large burn of the early 1900s, there would be a reduction forest debris to act as fuel so you would anticipate smaller fires for at least a few hundred years. Thanks for the XKCD reminder. I have used this in the past as a nice way to illustrate the cause for alarm.
