Climate scientists have long suspected a direct link between the Earths rapidly warming climate and increasing bouts of extreme weather, and recent research has provided significantly more hard evidence. But while demonstrating a link between storms like Hurricane Harvey and human induced global climate change has been difficult, the link between rising temperatures and wildfires is much simpler. According to Scientific American, Western wildfires have risen some 5. Climate change has exacerbated naturally occurring droughts, and therefore fuel conditions, NASAs Goddard Institute for Space Studies researcher Robert Field told the magazine. Higher temperatures exacerbate the drought by increasing evaporation and transpiration, University of California Merced professor Le. Roy Westerling added. Drier conditions mean highly flammable wildfire fuels. Drier conditions and high temperatures drive more extreme fire behavior.
