According to climate scientist Mike Flannigan, increasing global temperatures will lead to more wildfires in Canada, the United States, and Australia. He explains that wildfires require three ingredients: vegetation as fuel, ignition sources like lightning or human activity, and hot, dry, windy weather. Flannigan warns that as the world warms, there will be an increase in these conditions, resulting in more wildfires. The Western United States has already experienced a four-fold increase in burned area since the 1970s, while Canada has seen a doubling. Both countries are expected to see further impacts in the future.
