How do you know whether that is caused by climate change or worse management of forests.

I suspect many governments are spending less on prevention because they can blame the consequences on climate change - whereas if climate change is increasing the risk they should be spending more on reducing it.

Trees also change the climate locally so might be part of the solution for that too.
