Abstract from Science Advances:
Annual wildfire area in California has rapidly grown in recent decades, with increasingly negative impacts on people. The fire season is also lengthening, with an earlier onset. This trend has been hypothesized to be driven by anthropogenic warming, but it has yet to be quantitatively attributed to climate drivers. Using a comprehensive fire occurrence dataset, we analyze fire season onset and climate controls on its variability and change during 1992–2020 in 13 California ecoregions. Northern California ecoregions show stronger trends toward earlier onset compared to more arid southern California ecoregions. Onset has trended earlier for all but one ecoregion. Interannual variability of onset is dominated by climate variability and its influence on fuel moisture. Trend attribution inferred from onset-climate relationships suggests that anthropogenic warming advanced fire season onset by 6 to 46 days during 1992–2020 in 11 of 13 ecoregions. Continued warming is expected to further promote earlier fire season onsets.
- prioritizes fossil fuels over clean energy
- eliminates incentives for purchasing electric vehicles and efficient appliances
- opens federal lands for oil and gas drilling
- phases out tax credits for solar and wind energy
- hog-ties the Environmental Protection Agency rule-making and regulatory authority.
It add more fuel to the fire, literally and figuratively.
The depth of their denial and ignorance is bottomless.
