It's from a skeptic blog which uses a subset of locations heavily biased to eastern Australia, where most of the stations were situated 100+ years ago.
Plummeting Temperatures In Australia
Australia used to be very hot, which is why BOM hides all temperatures before 1910 The hottest year in Australia was 1900. This is where GHCN stations were located than year.

A point worth noting is that temperatures weren't read every second of the day like they are now, but rather at a specific time, say 3pm. So the readings would have understated the actual maximum daily termperature in that era.

That blog is run by someone who doesn't work in the field and is a political activist.
Warm day, people leaving town after a working week. Situation is tailor-made for someone to be run over.
Defiant climate activists snub police plea over resourcing fears on peak fire day
Defiant climate protesters say they will go ahead with plans to shut Melbourne CBD down on Friday, despite being urged to rethink the plan.
Police say it could drain vital resources from bushfire-affected communities as more than 5000 activists gather at the State Library from 6pm and march through the city, causing peak-hour chaos.
Uni Students For Climate Justice representative Anneke Demanuele told 3AW the protest would proceed as scheduled and did not require police attendance.

There are certainly a lot of bushfire appeals to choose from. Hope all the money is forwarded to where it's supposed to go.
Interesting map.
Here is the world map produced by the same people.
According to the source you shared, Australia is the among the least green of all countries surveyed.

And the extreme fire conditions don't care if the fires are man made or natural.

Sweet. Uranium is in plentiful. Get active promoting nuclear power.

Correct.
The same as it was in 1926, 1944, 1952, 1957, 1962, 1975, 1980, 1985, 2003, 2007, 2009, 2019-20 and for tens of thousands of years before these times.
Nope. Not the same. These are the largest fires we've ever had.

Always for the no-brainer solutions. Reckon there’s a pattern there for you.
Nuclear Power is an interesting one. Lots of articles doing simple sums and promoting it, and alarmist articles decrying it.
This is a pretty balanced summary:
Nuclear Power - The Solution to Future Energy and Climate Challenges?
Nuclear power is often touted as being an important tool in the array of measures needed to help prevent climate change. However, even though the goal of dramatically reducing CO2 emissions is critically important, there are still many reasons to be skeptical.
I think existing power plants are part of the solution. I haven’t read enough into why Germany are phasing out nuclear power, but on the face of it, it does seem counterproductive.
The costs of building new power stations, with the safeguards required, are increasing, unlike renewable sources such as wind, tidal and solar which benefit from efficiency and technology gains.
The risks involved in disposing of hazardous waste are immense, and allowing all nations to build nuclear reactors would multiply the risks exponentially. Allowing all nations to build wind farms seems a lot less threatening!

CxHy +

In a reliable recorded history of how long?
That organisations blog does not represent the firefighters. That is clear from public comments in the last few days, already linked on this thread.
