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,

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

Extreme conditions helped fuel the fast-moving fires that destroyed thousands of homes. Scientists are working to figure out how climate change played a role in the disaster.

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, a scientific study found.

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.

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

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

In early January 2025, just a week after New Year, furious 80 mph Santa Ana winds swept through SoCal. The winds are natural, occurring when cool, pressurized desert air heats and picks up speed as it races down a mountainside.

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.

New research shows climate change increased the likelihood of the devastating fires in Los Angeles County this month. Climate change helped to set the stage for the devastating Los Angeles fires this month, a new study by 32 researchers shows.

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 percent and its intensity by 6 percent.

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.
