Europe faces up to tenfold increase in extreme fires in a warming climate
S. E. Garroussi, F. D. Giuseppe, et al.
This groundbreaking study reveals how shifting temperatures and precipitation patterns could escalate the intensity and duration of extreme fires across Europe, with potentially catastrophic implications. Conducted by Siham El Garroussi, Francesca Di Giuseppe, Christopher Barnard, and Fredrik Wetterhall, the research indicates a tenfold increase in catastrophic fire likelihood in southern Europe under moderate climate scenarios, raising alarms for future fire seasons.
