The recent wildfires in California were worsened by climate change, a report found. The study, released Tuesday by World Weather Attribution, found that human-caused climate change increased the

The Santa Ana winds are dry, powerful winds that blow down the mountains toward the Southern California coast. The region sees about 10 Santa Ana wind events a year on average, typically occurring from fall into January. When conditions are dry, as they are right now, these winds can become a severe fire hazard.

Climate change made ferocious LA wildfires more likely: study Human-driven climate change set the stage for the devastating Los Angeles wildfires by reducing rainfall, parching vegetation, and extending the dangerous overlap between flammable drought conditions and powerful Santa Ana winds,

While discussing the fires on his podcast, Rogan took aim at "a really goofy thing that people on the left are talking about."

The hot, dry and windy conditions that preceded the Southern California fires were about 35% more likely because of climate change, according to a new report.

Weather data show how humankind’s burning of fossil fuels made the hot, dry, windy weather more likely, setting the stage for the Los Angeles wildfires.

Although pieces of the analysis include degrees of uncertainty, researchers said trends show climate change increased the likelihood of the fires.

Climate change caused by human activity increases the risk of devastating fires, like the ones in Los Angeles, California,according to the World Weather Attribution (WWA) network. The fires left at least 29 dead and thousands homeless.

Climate change did not cause the Los Angeles wildfires, nor the now infamous Santa Ana winds. But its fingerprints were all over the recent disaster, says a large new study from World Weather Attribution.

Climate change was a major factor behind the hot, dry weather that gave rise to the devastating LA fires, a scientific study has confirmed. It made those weather conditions about 35% more likely, according to World Weather Attribution - globally recognised for their studies linking extreme weather to climate change.

New studies are finding the fingerprints of climate change in the Eaton and Palisades wildfires, which made some of extreme climate conditions — higher temperatures and drier weather — worse.
