'Hotter, drier, and more flammable': Scientists say climate change fueled LA fires
Although pieces of the analysis include degrees of uncertainty, researchers said trends show climate change increased the likelihood of the fires.
Climate change made devastating LA fires more likely, scientists say
Climate change made devastating LA fires more likely, scientists say - Analysis found the hot, dry and windy conditions that drove the fires were 35% more likely due to 1.3C of warming.
Climate Change Made LA 35% More Primed to Burn, Scientists Say
Global warming exacerbated fire conditions in the Los Angeles area, an analysis by the research group World Weather Attribution finds.
Climate change made LA fires worse, scientists say
Climate change was a major factor behind the hot, dry weather that gave rise to the devastating LA fires, a scientific study has confirmed. It made those weather conditions about 35% more likely, according to World Weather Attribution - globally recognised for their studies linking extreme weather to climate change.
Climate Change Increased Likelihood Of L.A. Wildfires, Report Finds
The study analyzed weather and climate models to assess how a warmer atmosphere is increasing the likelihood of fire-prone weather. It revealed that the extreme conditions driving the recent fires in Los Angeles are now expected to occur once every 17 years, compared to once every 23 years without climate change.
Climate change made deadly Los Angeles wildfires 35% more likely: new attribution study
The fires, likely to be the costliest in world history, were made about 35% more likely due to the 1.3°C of global warming that has occurred since preindustrial times.
Climate change made LA wildfires 'more likely' according to international study
Climate change caused by human activity increases the risk of devastating fires, like the ones in Los Angeles, California,according to the World Weather Attribution (WWA) network. The fires left at least 29 dead and thousands homeless.
Study Says Climate Change Made Conditions That Fed California Wildfires More Likely, More Intense
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 Ca
‘A perfect storm’: How climate change made the LA wildfires more likely - and more deadly
Human-caused climate change worsened the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, a new study has found. Fossil fuel burning reduced rainfall, dried out vegetation, and increased the overlap between flammable drought conditions and strong Santa Ana winds,
