you can blame climate change for the LA wildfires
A new report suggests that climate change-induced factors, like reduced rainfall, primed conditions for the Palisades and Eaton fires.
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.
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.
A new attribution analysis found that climate heating caused by burning fossil fuels significantly increased the likelihood of extreme fire conditions.
Human-driven climate change set the stage for the devastating Los Angeles wildfires by reducing rainfall, parching vegetation, and extending the dangerous overlap between flammable drought
Many factors, such as strong Santa Ana winds and urban planning decisions, played into the recent destructive wildfires in the Los Angeles area. But the evidence is clear that climate change contribut
The climate crisis isn’t just about the availability and cost of housing. It's also about location and quality.
An international panel of scientists says with "high confidence" that climate change is worsening Southern California's fire threat.
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.
