Climate change almost wipes out decline in global area burned by wildfires - Carbon Brief
www.carbonbrief.org
Decline in area burned globally by wildfires over the 20th century due to land-use change has almost entirely been offset by climate change.

changes in population distribution and land use over the 20th century – including forest fragmentation and the conversion of land for urban development and agriculture – have suppressed wildfires, driving down global burned area by 19%.

However, this decline has been hindered by human-caused warming, which has expanded the area burned by 16% through increasingly hot and dry conditions across much of the world.

      I think you could nuke the atmosphere without a nuclear war, you’d just need a UN Climate Action resolution
