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

The recent Los Angeles wildfires are only the latest reminder that banks need to steel themselves against climate change both in their portfolios and in their own businesses.

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.

A quick scientific study finds that human-caused climate change increased the likelihood and intensity of the hot, dry and windy conditions that fanned the flames of the recent devastating Southern California wildfires.

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.

Global warming caused mainly by burning of fossil fuels made the hot, dry and windy conditions that drove the recent deadly fires around Los Angeles about 35 times more likely to occur, an international team of scientists concluded in a rapid attribution analysis released Tuesday.

Global warming is worsening droughts, making sea levels rise, and fueling deadly storms. Now scientists have a new problem to add to that list: Climate change is helping rat populations thrive in U.S.

A confluence of factors is making wildfires worse. Among them: increasingly dramatic swings between wet and dry conditions in a warming world.

In short, there are now enough nukes on Earth to destroy any number of planets and, though one hasn’t been used in so many decades, don’t count on us when it comes to not, sooner or later, using some of them to engage in potentially world-ending behavior.

Across the globe, cultural institutions are implementing new measures to protect their artifacts from the ravages of climate change. As climate change causes increasingly severe natural disasters, it’s also increasingly threatening our art,
