Ominous prediction regarding wildfires:
“The number of days when the weather gets hot, dry and windy – ideal to spark extreme wildfires – has nearly tripled in the past 45 years across the globe, with the trend increasing even higher in the Americas, a new study shows.
“And more than half of that increase is caused by human-caused climate change, researchers calculated.”
“This study is important because extreme fire weather is the primary – but not only – factor in increasing fire impacts across the globe, said fire scientist Mike Flannigan of Thompson Rivers University in Canada. … And it’s also important because regions that used to have fire seasons at different times and could share resources are now overlapping, he said.”
