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,

While discussing the fires on his podcast, Rogan took aim at "a really goofy thing that people on the left are talking about."

New research shows climate change increased the likelihood of the devastating fires in Los Angeles County this month. Climate change helped to set the stage for the devastating Los Angeles fires this month, a new study by 32 researchers shows.

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.

In early January 2025, just a week after New Year, furious 80 mph Santa Ana winds swept through SoCal. The winds are natural, occurring when cool, pressurized desert air heats and picks up speed as it races down a mountainside.

Hurricane-force winds helped the deadly wildfires spread across the region, alongside impacts from climate change (AP) Still, it remains hard to say whether the Santa Ana winds are becoming more ...

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 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.

As a school committed to sustainability, it is crucial to educate students about the factors that made these fires so devastating.
