Severe wildfires the new normal due to climate change, B.C. fires contribute to floods: study

The study found increases in extreme weather can cause major fires including in Northern Canada and B.C. Flannigan says globally, weather patterns that make fires worse has become more common in the last 40 years, even more so in the last two decades.

For the study, researchers looked at extreme fire weather trends from 1979 to 2020, including the intensity, rate of spread, and changes in humidity. Decreasing relative humidity drove more than three-quarters of rising fire intensity and spread, and increased temperatures were behind 40 per cent of the trends.

“It is not all attributable to fires, but fires do play a role. When you remove the vegetation, the rain is not being intercepted by the trees, the roots aren’t picking up the moisture, there is nothing to give the soil stability — you’re much more likely to see land and mudslides in burnt areas,” he said. “This has been documented in California for years.”

Of course the fires contribute to floods: there is nothing absorbing the waters... if all the trees and plants are burned... I do strongly believe that those fires are not wild, but arsons and there is a big project around them, with the contribution of Suzuki & Co. (Libs)
