Abrupt changes in biomass burning during the last glacial period - Nature An increase in wildfire extent and related greenhouse gas emissions can be linked to abrupt climatic changes during the last glacial period.

I'm thrilled to share our new @nature.com paper! We present ice core methane isotope data revealing that past abrupt climate changes likely triggered surges in wildfires, simultaneously driving rapid methane—and possibly CO2—rises 🌎🔥

Warm and “wet north/dry south” pattern to continue in California - Weather West Persistent subtropical ridge produces an extraordinary precipitation dipole in northern vs southern CA When it comes to California precipitation so far this season, your mileage may vary. Specifically as a function of latitude! Since October 1, nearly all of NorCal north of the Golden Gate has seen much wetter than average conditions; south of Point

It has been exceptionally wet in parts of northern California, and exceptionally dry across most of southern California--resulting in a remarkable north-south "precipitation dipole." Will this likely continue? In a word: yes. #CAwx #CAwater #CAfire weatherwest.com/arch...
