"Although the burned area shows a slight statistically non-significant decrease, human exposure per unit of burned area has risen by 42%-138%" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

That is, the fire risk for people is more of an urban-planning issue than a climate issue!

Marco Turco @marco-turco.bsky.social · 2d

Human exposure to wildfires in Catalonia has increased markedly over the past 30 years—driven not by more burned area, but by urban expansion into fire-prone landscapes.

Figure below shows the trend clearly.

Dentro de la tormenta más monstruosa: así disparó el cambio climático la dana de Valencia

El estudio más completo sobre la vinculación del desastre de 2024 con el calentamiento muestra la urgente necesidad de prepararse para lluvias torrenciales nunca vistas en el Mediterráneo

El cambio climático «dopó» la dana y amplió un 55% el área de lluvias extremas

La influencia del cambio climático en la dana de Valencia de 2024, que se cobró la vida de 238 personas, es «clarísima», resume el investigador Carlos Calvo-Sancho, actualmente en el Centro de Investigaciones sobre Desertificación (CIDE-CSIC). Ha liderado el primer estudio que se 'mete' en la tormenta y sus principales conclusiones indican que el calentamiento global incrementó la cantidad de lluvia y, muy especialmente, el área de influencia de la dana. De hecho, aumentó un 55% la zona en la que cayeron más de 180 litros por metro cuadrado, el umbral a partir del cual empieza el riesgo extremo por precipitaciones en el litoral mediterráneo. «No esperaba un incremento tan grande», asegura el autor principal. La costa levantina experimenta lluvias torrenciales de forma cíclica, en especial en otoño, cuando las tormentas se ven nutridas por la humedad de un mar que sigue cálido. Pero en octubre de 2024, una dana alimentada por la entrada de aire muy cálido y húmedo desde el Mediterráneo generó unas precipitaciones inéditas en el interior
