Observations of trends in drought and wildfire over the past several decades have been widely interpreted as being associated with anthropogenic climate change. In fact, such observations are always a blend of internal (i.e. unforced) and forced climate variability. In this study the relative contributions of each to observed trends is estimated in order to provide a more complete description and understanding of recent drought and wildfire trends, and implications for future risks.
