North Carolina is another state prone to hurricanes—and in fact Hurricane Helene last fall triggered a Biden administration recovery effort led by Deanne Criswell, the impeccably qualified and unanimously confirmed director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. There were no conditions attached, but here are two that would have been nice.

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,

A new attribution analysis found that climate heating caused by burning fossil fuels significantly increased the likelihood of extreme fire conditions.

As a school committed to sustainability, it is crucial to educate students about the factors that made these fires so devastating.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
