Rising Temperatures and Fuel Loads Threaten Future Safe Burning Opportunities | CBCGDF Research on Climate Change
New research suggests that the United States may have fewer safe burning opportunities in the future as temperatures rise and fuel loads increase, increasing the risk of severe wildfires. The study shows that while warmer maximum temperatures will reduce the number of burnable days during the 2051-60 period, warmer minimum temperatures and lower wind speeds may increase burning opportunities.
To prevent catastrophic wildfires, the U.S. must maintain or increase the number of controlled burns despite more challenging conditions, and even explore unconventional strategies such as night burning.
