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.

A new report suggests that climate change-induced factors, like reduced rainfall, primed conditions for the Palisades and Eaton fires.

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.

Study says climate change made extreme fire conditions that fed California blazes more likely.

A weather analysis organization thinks climate change could be a factor in the recent southern California wildfires.

Tuesday's report, too rapid for peer-review yet, found global warming boosted the likelihood of high fire weather conditions in this month's fires by 35% and its intensity by 6%.

As Southern California gets some much-needed rain, a new analysis suggests the conditions that led to January's wildfires were 35 per cent more likely because of human-fuelled climate change. And the more likely those fires become,

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.
