#ClimateChange Is Making #Fire #Weather Worse for World’s #Forests
#ForestFires are on the rise globally. An increase in severe #fireweather is largely responsible.
“Climate change is loading the dice for extreme #fireseasons like we’ve seen,” said John Abatzoglou, a #climate #scientist at U of Cal Merced. “There are going to be more fires like this.”
Area of forest lost to fire 2023-2024 was at least 2x greater than in previous nearly two decades.

"forest fires in #Canada and other northern #BorealForests are a common and natural occurrence"

However, "higher temperatures caused by climate change dry out the landscape and make forests more susceptible to fire, driving longer #FireSeasons and larger forest fires. As larger forested areas burn, more #carbon is emitted into the atmosphere, further exacerbating climate change and contributing to even more fires as part of a fires-climate feedback loop"
