What’s Driving the Increase in Global Wildfires?

[suga98]

It seems like there’s news about massive wildfires every year now, from the Amazon to California. Is this purely a result of climate change, or are there other factors at play, like poor land management? I’d love to hear your perspectives on this.

Wildfires definitely seem to be getting worse every year . Climate change plays a big role by making things hotter and drier, but poor land management is also a huge factor. Some places don’t do enough controlled burns, which lets dry vegetation pile up like kindling. It’s a mix of nature and human choices, but either way, it’s scary how common these fires have become.
