Research published by University of Colorado Boulder researchers shows that the number of homes and structures damaged or destroyed by wildfires across the U.S. is on pace to triple by mid-century as temperatures rise and development expands. The study cites climate change as nearly doubling the area burned in western U.S. forests between 1984 and 2015.
“As temperatures rise and development expands, the number of homes and other structures damaged or destroyed by wildfires across the U.S. is on pace to triple by mid-century”
