Although pieces of the analysis include degrees of uncertainty, researchers said trends show climate change increased the likelihood of the fires.
Global warming caused mainly by burning of fossil fuels made the hot, dry and windy conditions that drove the recent deadly fires around Los Angeles about 35 times more likely to occur, an international team of scientists concluded in a rapid attribution analysis released Tuesday.
Executive orders and announcements by President Trump have put billions of dollars in U.S. climate commitments into question.
A quick scientific study finds that human-caused climate change increased the likelihood and intensity of the hot, dry and windy conditions that fanned the flames of the recent devastating Southern California wildfires.

That is a terrible idea, full stop. Lawmakers shouldn’t use the fires as an excuse to slow down on clean energy — not when scientists say humanity must slash emissions much faster to keep the climate crisis from getting worse, and not when the climate crisis is a significant reason we’re seeing these catastrophic fires in the first place.
Climate change is an intensifier — a force that amplifies and worsens existing conditions. It increases the probability that extreme conditions will compound and become unprecedented.
