California Wildfires and Global Warming
Wildfires are More Frequent and Intense Due to Climate Change.
The wildfires consuming Southern California are extraordinary: Extraordinary because they have claimed so many homes. extraordinary because they started so quickly and have burned so intensely. Extraordinary because they are exhausting the formidable firefighting resources in a region used to wildfire.
But in the years to come, they may become ordinary... read more Published by: http://www.thedailygreen.com/environmental-news/latest/Global-Warming-California-Wildfire-47102305

More Large Fires Linked to Global Warming
More Large Forest Fires Linked to Climate Change by Mari N. Jensen, UA Communications
Large forest fires have occurred more frequently in the western United States since the mid-1980s as spring temperatures increased, mountain snows melted earlier and summers got hotter, according to new research.
Almost seven times more forested federal land burned during the 1987-2003 period than during the prior 17 years. In addition, large fires occurred about four times more often during the latter period... read more Published by: http://www.uagrad.org/Alumnus/gw/fire.html

Global Warming and Weather Extremes
Global Warming and Weather Extremes
Climate is defined not simply as average temperature and precipitation but also by the type, frequency and intensity of weather events. Human-induced climate change has the potential to alter the prevalence and severity of extremes such as heat waves, cold waves, storms, floods and droughts... read more Published by: http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/effects/extreme.html
