Explain how an increase in wildfires will impact global climate. Use evidence from your lessons and scientific reasoning to support your explanation

While fire is a natural and essential part of these ecosystems, warming temperatures and drying soils—both tied to human-caused climate change—have contributed to observed increases in wildfire activity. The earlier snowmelt and higher temperatures—and resulting drier soils from increased evaporation—in addition to greater water loss from vegetation have contributed to lengthening the Western fire seasons. Leaders at CalFire even suggest there’s not a wildfire “season” at all anymore, as California in recent years has been battling blazes year-round.
