Explain why climate change has affected wildfire activity in many parts of the world.
Answer:
Climate change has contributed to an increase in wildfire activity in at least three ways: a) less rainfall in some areas has made vegetation drier and more flammable, b) higher temperatures have also contributed to drying of vegetation and c) warmer temperatures have allowed forest pests such as the Mountain Pine Beetle to kill trees and make them more vulnerable to fire.
