The recent Los Angeles wildfires have burned larger and hotter due to climate change, according to a UCLA study.
Researchers attribute 25% of the available fuel to climate-driven factors, including wet winters, warm summers, and delayed rains.
The “weather whiplash” effect has intensified risks, with 12 fires since January 7 scorching over 60 square miles and destroying more than 12,000 structures.
Experts warn that future wildfires may worsen with continued warming and decreasing rainfall, underscoring the dire implications of a changing climate.
