#HumanCausedClimateChange is turning high #temperatures that would once have been considered improbable into more commonplace occurrences. And it is intensifying the #heat & dryness that fuel catastrophic #wildfires, allowing them to burn longer & more ferociously, & to churn out more #smoke.

#ClimateChange is “the elephant in the room” that is worsening #wildfires & their effects on #AirQuality, said JohnC.Lin, prof of atmospheric science U of Utah.
