"The number of days when the weather gets hot, dry and windy – ideal to spark
extreme wildfires – has nearly tripled in the past 45 years across the globe,
with the trend increasing even higher in the Americas, a new study shows.
And more than half of that increase is caused by human-caused climate change,
researchers calculated.
What this means is that as the world warms, more places across the globe are
prone to go up in flames at the same time because of increasingly synchronous
fire weather, which is when multiple places have the right conditions to go up
in smoke.
Countries may not have enough resources to put out all the fires popping up and
help won't be as likely to come from neighbours busy with their own flames,
according to the authors of a study in 18 February's
Science Advances."
