Scientists from the University of East Anglia, the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, the Met Office and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts have found that climate change is significantly increasing the likelihood and intensity of wildfires. This was reported by Earth System Science Data.
The study emphasizes that the analysis of wildfires was carried out from March 2023 to February 2024. It is almost certain that the fires in Canada and the Amazon are caused by climate change. According to scientists, the probability of this is more than 99%.
Climate change has also increased the likelihood of fires in Greece, Canada and the Amazon by a factor of 2, 3 and 20 respectively, with the situation in the latter case exacerbated by deforestation, the study says.
Before that, an international group of scientists from China and the US discovered The relationship between vegetation, climate change, and mercury pollution in soil. It turns out that soils in areas with abundant vegetation store more toxic metals than previously thought.
Scientists previously studied the heat bad influence about the world economy.
