Study says climate change made conditions that fed California wildfires more likely, more intense
- Climate change has made the hot, dry conditions that fueled the Los Angeles wildfires about 35% more likely, according to a study by World Weather Attribution.
- Around 30 people have died and more than 10,000 homes have been destroyed in the wildfires that began in early January.
- The study found that dry conditions in the LA area are now about 2.4 times more likely than before large-scale fossil fuel use.
- The authors warn that without a transition away from fossil fuels, California will continue to experience hotter, drier, and more flammable conditions.
