USA: Déjà vu fire season off to a roaring start in Colorado
In Colorado, the fire season seems to repeat the previous year's devastation. This is in line with studies predicting climate change induced destructive wildfires, reports CAPAF's Climate Progress.
A 2012 study for example found that wildfire burn season is two and a half months longer than it was 40 years ago, and that for every one degree Celsius temperature increase the earth experiences, the area burned in the western U.S. could quadruple.
