Global burning declines despite regional wildfires
Wildfires are increasing in size, intensity, and frequency in North America and Europe, driven by climate change and human activity, while overall global fire emissions have reached record lows due to decreased fire activity in Africa and Asia. Experts attribute the rise in extreme fires to hotter, drier conditions caused by climate change, whereas land use changes and fire management practices in Africa and Asia have reduced overall fire emissions. El Nino is expected to further influence fire activity, potentially increasing fires in tropical regions while temporarily reducing them in some parts of North America.
