Climate warming increases extreme daily wildfire growth risk in California
We use machine learning to quantify the relationship of temperature and wildfires that grow by >10,000acres/day in California, finding that human-caused warming has increased the frequency of such wildfiregrowth by ~25% relative to the preindustrial era, which will further increase to ~59% by 2100 even ifwarming is kept low (i.e. <2°C).
