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, a scientific study found. But the myriad of causes that go into the still smoldering fires are complex, so the level of global warming's fingerprints on weeks of burning appears relatively small compared to previous studies of killer heat waves, floods and droughts by the international team at World Weather Attribution. Tuesday's report, too rapid for peer-review yet, found global warming boosted the likelihood of high fire weather conditions in this month's fires by 35% and its intensity by 6%.
Wildfires that blazed around the world in 2024 helped to drive a record annual leap in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, surprising scientists. The data shows humanity is moving yet deeper into a dangerous world of supercharged extreme weather.

Face à l'avancée du "Mountain fire", un incendie qui a déjà consumé près de 8 100 hectares depuis mercredi, des milliers de personnes ont été invitées à évacuer vers les collines du nord-ouest de la région de Los Angeles, en Californie.
Extreme heat affecting nearly 23m people across US south-west and pushing Texas’s electrical grid to the limit.
SAO PAULO, Aug 1 (Reuters) - The number of fires in Brazil's Amazon rainforest region surged to a record high for the month of July in almost two decades, government data showed on Thursday, amid a drought in the region fanned by climate change. The Amazon, the world's largest rainforest, plays a vital role in curbing global warming because of the vast amounts of greenhouse gas it absorbs.
Unprecedented wildfires in Canada and parts of Amazonia last year were at least three times more likely due to climate change and contributed to high levels of CO2 emissions from burning globally, according to the first edition of a new systematic annual review.
L’Etat de l’ouest américain est de nouveau en proie à un mégafeu depuis le 24 juillet, qui a déjà calciné plus de 150 000 hectares.
L’incendie est le septième plus important de toute l’histoire de cet Etat de l’Ouest américain. Il a contraint plus de 4 000 personnes à évacuer.
Un incendie incontrôlable dans le nord de la Californie est devenu en trois jours l'un des plus importants jamais enregistrés dans cet État de l'ouest des États-Unis. Le "Park Fire" a déjà dévoré plus de 142.000 hectares, ce qui en fait le septième plus gros incendie de l'histoire de cet État, a déclaré samedi l'agence étatique Cal Fire.
