Fire season in Alberta, Canada, typically begins March 1. This year, the province officially declared the start of the season more than a week in advance, on Feb. 20. More than 150 fires are smoldering in parts of western Canada while firefighters in the Texas Panhandle have spent over a week battling the largest wildfire in the state’s history — blazes that follow a pattern in recent years of wildfire seasons kicking off earlier than expected.
While global warming may play a role in creating ideal conditions for wildfires to ignite and spread, it’s much trickier to make direct links between climate change and individual events. This is because weather, landscapes and ecosystems all interact in a complex way to influence how fires behave in different locations.
