Climate change made ferocious LA wildfires more likely

Climate change made the L.A. wildfires 35 percent more likely
A new report suggests that climate change-induced factors, like reduced rainfall, primed conditions for the Palisades and Eaton fires.
Climate change made conditions that fed California wildfires more likely, intense: Study
The team used observations of past weather and computer simulations that compared what happened this month to a what-if world without the 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.3 degrees Celsius) of human-caused climate change.
Here's how climate change fueled the Los Angeles fires
Extreme conditions helped fuel the fast-moving fires that destroyed thousands of homes. Scientists are working to figure out how climate change played a role in the disaster.
‘A perfect storm’: How climate change made the LA wildfires more likely - and more deadly
Human-caused climate change worsened the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, a new study has found. Fossil fuel burning reduced rainfall, dried out vegetation, and increased the overlap between flammable drought conditions and strong Santa Ana winds,
Climate Change Made LA 35% More Primed to Burn, Scientists Say
Global warming exacerbated fire conditions in the Los Angeles area, an analysis by the research group World Weather Attribution finds.
Climate change made the deadly Los Angeles wildfires more likely. And, the worst is yet to come
The hot, dry and windy weather that stoked this month’s destructive blazes will worsen without a transition away from atmosphere-warming fossil fuels, researchers say
Climate change made LA wildfires 'more likely' according to international study
Climate change caused by human activity increases the risk of devastating fires, like the ones in Los Angeles, California,according to the World Weather Attribution (WWA) network. The fires left at least 29 dead and thousands homeless.
Climate change made conditions that fed California wildfires more likely and intense, preliminary study finds
Tuesday's report, too rapid for peer-review yet, found global warming boosted the likelihood of high fire weather conditions in this month's fires by 35 percent and its intensity by 6 percent.
Climate Change Fueled The LA Wildfires And Bigger Hurricanes, New Study Confirms
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, discusses a scientific study confirming that climate change significantly increased the likelihood of the LA wildfires. Research from World Weather Attribution found that extreme heat and dry conditions—key wildfire drivers—were 35% more likely due to climate change.
Climate change made LA fires worse, scientists say
Climate change was a major factor behind the hot, dry weather that gave rise to the devastating LA fires, a scientific study has confirmed. It made those weather conditions about 35% more likely, according to World Weather Attribution - globally recognised for their studies linking extreme weather to climate change.
Climate change intensified LA fires: Analysis by 32 climate scientists
The hot, dry, and windy conditions that drove the fires were about 35% more likely due to warming caused primarily by the burning of oil, gas, and coal, said the new analysis by 32 climate scientists
