Climate Change Extends California's Wildfire Season, Exacerbating Devastating Fires
Climate change extended Southern California's dry season by 23 days, increasing the likelihood of wildfires; the overlap with the Santa Ana wind season, coupled with abundant dry plant material, resulted in devastating fires that killed 29 and destroyed over 16,000 buildings in early 2025.

Wildfires Increase Future Fire Risk in North America
A German study shows that wildfires in North America increase future fire risk by raising soil temperatures for decades, exemplified by the record-breaking 2023 Canadian wildfire season that released vast amounts of carbon dioxide, contributing to global warming and a cycle of increased drought and ...

Global Study Reveals Increasing Severity and Frequency of Prolonged Droughts
A new study in Science reveals that prolonged droughts are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change, impacting ecosystems globally; researchers mapped over 13,000 multiyear droughts (1980-2018), showing affected areas expanding by 50,000 square kilometers annually since 1980.

Fog Harvesting: A Solution to Water Scarcity in Arid Regions
Researchers in Chile have found that large-scale fog harvesting can provide a reliable water source for the arid city of Alto Hospicio, using specially designed nets to collect water from fog. This could address water scarcity affecting communities lacking access to traditional water infrastructure.

American Southwest Megadrought Fuels Catastrophic Wildfires
A decade-long megadrought in the American Southwest, the driest since 800 AD, has created tinderbox conditions for catastrophic fires in Los Angeles and other areas, with human-caused climate change responsible for about 42% of the soil moisture deficit since 2000.
