BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Human-caused climate change had an important impact on the recent ferocious wildfires that engulfed parts of Chile and Argentina’s Patagonia region, making the extremely high-risk conditions that led to widespread burning up to three times more likely than in a world without global warming, a team of researchers warned on Wednesday.
The hot, dry and gusty weather that fed last month’s deadly wildfires in central and southern Chile was made around 200% more likely by human-made greenhouse gas emissions while the high-fire-risk conditions that fueled the blazes still racing through southern Argentina were made 150% more likely, according to World Weather Attribution, a scientific initiative that investigates extreme weather events soon after they happen.
That probability will only increase, the experts added, as humans continue to blanket the planet with heat-trapping gases.
“Overall, we’re confident in saying that the main driver of this increased fire risk is human-caused warming,” Clair Barnes, a research associate with World Weather Attribution, told reporters in a briefing. “These trends are projected to continue in the future as long as we continue to burn fossil fuels.”
The study, confirming what had been widely suspected, brings the first scientific assessment of global warming’s role in intensifying some of the most serious wildfire emergencies to grip Chile and Argentina in years.
It’s the latest in an emerging subfield of climate science known as weather attribution, which is evolving rapidly in response to a growing thirst for public information about how climate change influences natural disasters.

Liberals are really zombies.
“study”.
Just in time for the conservative governments to act! Build more nuke plants. Has nothing to do with clear cutting the rain forests in Brazil, to build windmills.
Climate change...mantra of the retarded.
We need many more coal-fired power plants. Now. This AP report confirms it.
Click Zombies at AP.
Human-caused climate change? ...BS
And we, of course, know how accurate those ‘studies’ have been.
And we also know how technically minded our ‘journalists’ are (not).
More likely it was the all-integrity-free climate “scientists” that started the fires with some sort of propellant.
They must keep their funding (grifting) flowing.
I believe the groundhog more than I believe any of them.
In other words, it was per-ordained what the study would find. They just admitted it.
“We need many more coal-fired power plants”
To be sure the Chicoms are doing their part building one a week. And with all the AI centers the MSM is blabbing about going online we’ll sure be dead from CO2 asphyxiation before the decade is out.
Never give up the con
Fires in those countries are caused by discarded cigarettes and/or arson.
America's Death Valley is the hottest place on Earth, and yet nothing there spontaneously combusts.
It’s more likely there haven’t been fires for years and the forests became overgrown and nature made a correction.
Just a few days ago I noticed it was much harder to open my soda bottle, 200% caused by man made globull climate catastrophe 😎
There is nothing in Death Valley to combust
Grade “A” Bullshit
Getting old has consequences. Trouble opening bottles is just the beginning
