When the facts do not support the theory, ignore the facts!
The frequency and magnitude of extreme wildfires around the globe has doubled in the past two decades due to climate change, according to a study released Monday.
The analysis, published in the journal “Nature Ecology & Evolution,” focused on massive blazes that release vast amounts of energy from the volume of organic matter burned. Researchers pointed to the historic Australia fires of 2019 and 2020 as an example of blazes that were “unprecedented in their scale and intensity.” The six most extreme fire years have occurred since 2017, the study found.
“It’s absolutely in keeping with what climate change is doing to fire weather around the world,” said lead author Calum Cunningham, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Tasmania in Australia. “Climate change is making fire weather more extreme and more frequent in a lot of the world.”
