Searching for explanations on the extreme heat in 2023 and 2024. Very little in nature is simple. #nature #environment #climate

Why wildfires started by human activities can be more destructive and harder to contain The US has seen huge wildfires in recent years, and 2024 is no exception. The vast majority of those that affect communities are started by human activity.

Wildfires are now up to 4x larger and 3x more frequent than in the 1980s-90s. Climate change, past land management, and human activities are reshaping fire behavior and increasing risks.
