  Climate change contributed to turning Los Angeles and its surroundings into a dry tinder-box of fuel just at the time of year when strong winds make fire most dangerous, a group of scientists have found. Thirty-two scientists working with the World Weather Attribution (WWA) group found that climate change – resulting in a world 1.3C hotter than pre-industrial times – made the dry conditions that fuelled the fires 35% more likely. A further rise in global warming to 2.6C, which is expected by 2100 on the current path, will make these conditions another 35% more likely again, they added. “Drought conditions are more frequently pushing into winter, increasing the chance a fire will break out during strong Santa Ana winds that can turn small ignitions into deadly infernos,” said Clair Barnes, a WWA researcher from Imperial College London. “Without a faster transition away from planet-heating fossil fuels, California will continue to get hotter, drier, and more flammabl...
