💨 Abstract

South Korea experienced its worst wildfires in March, killing 32 people and destroying thousands of buildings. These fires were twice as likely and 15% more intense due to climate change, according to scientists. The fires burned through 104,000 hectares of land, nearly four times more extensive than the previous worst fire season 25 years ago. The hot, dry, and windy conditions were exacerbated by climate change.
