Human-driven greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions cause distinct regional impacts on extreme fire weather

Human-driven greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions cause distinct regional impacts on extreme fire weather

Human emissions are thought to have caused an increase in wildfire risk, but how different emission sources contribute is less well known. Here, the authors show that the increase due to greenhouse gas emissions was balanced by aerosol-driven cooling, an effect that is projected to disappear during...
