To answer the question regarding how many more fires burned 1,000 acres or more on average per year from 2000 to 2012 compared to the period from 1990 to 1999, we would typically need the specific data from the chart referenced on page 15 of "The New Normal."

Since I don’t have access to that specific chart, I can't provide the exact numerical answer. However, you can determine the correct answer by following these steps:

  1. Find the average number of fires burning 1,000 acres or more per year for the period from 2000 to 2012 as indicated in the chart.
  2. Do the same for the period from 1990 to 1999.
  3. Subtract the average for 1990-1999 from the average for 2000-2012.
  4. Match the result with the choices provided: 250, 160, 410, and 90.

If you have access to the numbers in the chart, please share them, and I can help you calculate the answer.
