Climate change made LA fires far more likely, study shows
Human-caused climate change made the Los Angeles-area fires more likely and more destructive, according to a study out Tuesday. Why it matters: The study — from an international group of 32 climate researchers — shows how climate change fits into the myriad factors that made the multiple blazes one of California's most destructive and expensive wildfire disasters on record.

Climate change made deadly Los Angeles wildfires 35% more likely: new attribution study
The fires, likely to be the costliest in world history, were made about 35% more likely due to the 1.3°C of global warming that has occurred since preindustrial times.
Climate Change Made LA 35% More Primed to Burn, Scientists Say
Global warming exacerbated fire conditions in the Los Angeles area, an analysis by the research group World Weather Attribution finds.
Hotter, drier, faster, stronger: The role climate change did - and did not - play in the California wildfires
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 primed LA to burn — catastrophically
A new study finds that the region's extremely dry and hot conditions were about 35 percent more likely because of climate change.
Climate change made the L.A. wildfires 35 percent more likely
A new report suggests that climate change-induced factors, like reduced rainfall, primed conditions for the Palisades and Eaton fires.
Conditions that fueled L.A. fires were more likely due to climate change, scientists find
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.
Climate change made the deadly Los Angeles wildfires more likely. And, the worst is yet to come
The hot, dry and windy weather that stoked this month’s destructive blazes will worsen without a transition away from atmosphere-warming fossil fuels, researchers say
Counterpoint: Climate change did contribute to conditions leading to Los Angeles fires
New strategies — not today’s kind of politics — are needed to make communities more fire-resistant.
Should Los Angeles rebuild its fire-prone neighbourhoods?
The latest devastating wildfires must be a wake-up call for Los Angels to 'move away from fire-prone suburban sprawl'
Los Angeles wildfires exposed the failings of California’s leadership
California should, then, follow a University of Chicago conclusion: “Wildfire emissions need to be a key part of climate policy if California is going to meet its emission reduction goals.” Instead, Newsom and company use climate change as an excuse, suggesting in essence that their hands are tied until we reverse the Earth’s climate trajectory.
