2025 was a year of severe wildfires in Catalonia. The "Living with Wildfires in Catalonia" survey has therefore been reopened to allow people to share their experiences. Available in Catalan, Spanish and English. Please share/ re-post: www.surveymonkey.com/r/FiRES_CAT 🔥 @uocuniversitat.bsky.social

I enjoyed the interview too. They were hellbent on having a small fire, which was hilariously impossible as it was in the depth of winter with frost and snow!

Blocked?! There’s a YouTube version too; can you access that? youtu.be/x1fcRsAFQ8I?...

Anthropogenic warming drives earlier wildfire season onset in California.

Link to the actual study by Madakumbura et al. (2025) in @aaas.org: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

NYT: "The study rules out 2 factors that might be behind the shift: buildup of vegetation and changes in the number of fires ignited by humans."

My note: to understand wildfire risk, you need to understand how climatic, demographic and land-use changes are entwined.
