"In the past, many of these [human-caused] fires would have burned out or been quickly contained. Today, prolonged droughts, record heat & volatile weather amplified by climate change mean even accidental fires are more likely to escalate into uncontrollable infernos." Excellent piece 🔥🌏
Wildfires can start in many ways — but climate change supercharges them.
Opinion piece from @climateinstitute.bsky.social: There’s an important distinction between how a wildfire starts and what allows it to spiral into an uncontrollable inferno.

Fires drove record loss of world’s forests last year, ‘frightening’ data shows
Burning, worsened by global heating, overtook farming and logging as biggest cause of destruction of tropical forests

Not only are more forests/trees around the world experiencing mortality as a result of increasing stressors, but recovery is impaired as a result of increasing temps, drought, other climate-related impacts. Positive feedback loop -- as forests go, so do we. 🌏
Our new research shows that forest recovery from tree mortality has slowed in recent decades. This reduction is primarily associated with rising temperatures and increased water scarcity. Recovery of forest canopy water content lags behind that of vegetation greenness

At least 30 people were killed and more than 48,000 hectares, or 119,000 acres, of land was burned in fires that raged over the last week of March in South Korea, media reported.
The disaster is reportedly South Korea’s largest recorded wildfire as the blaze raged on for several days.

Forecasters are warning of above normal wildfire season in NM. Meanwhile, federal cuts, including those that would leave a third of the state unmonitored by wildfire dispatch, could make for a devastating fire season, experts told us.
