A quick scientific study finds that human-caused climate change increased the likelihood and intensity of the hot, dry and windy conditions that fanned the flames of the recent devastating Southern California wildfires.
Climate change did not cause the Los Angeles wildfires, nor the now infamous Santa Ana winds. But its fingerprints were all over the recent disaster, says a large new study from World Weather Attribution.
Global warming exacerbated fire conditions in the Los Angeles area, an analysis by the research group World Weather Attribution finds.
A new study finds that the region's extremely dry and hot conditions were about 35 percent more likely because of climate change.
Wildfires in Los Angeles started on January 7 and spread quickly, killing at least 28 people and destroying more than 10,000 homes
A new report suggests that climate change-induced factors, like reduced rainfall, primed conditions for the Palisades and Eaton fires.
Weather data show how humankind’s burning of fossil fuels made the hot, dry, windy weather more likely, setting the stage for the Los Angeles wildfires.
As the city debates how it can best address the impacts of increasingly devastating natural disasters, organizers hope to seize the moment.
Politicians have an agenda when they bring up forestry management or a Jewish space laser. They're trying to change the subject from fossil-fuel-driven climate change.
New strategies — not today’s kind of politics — are needed to make communities more fire-resistant.
California should, then, follow a University of Chicago conclusion: “Wildfire emissions need to be a key part of climate policy if California is going to meet its emission reduction goals.” Instead, Newsom and company use climate change as an excuse, suggesting in essence that their hands are tied until we reverse the Earth’s climate trajectory.
