Warming climate making fine particulate matter from wildfires more deadly and expensive

79% Informative
Scientists say human-caused climate change led to 15,000 additional early deaths from wildfire air pollution in the continental United States during the 15-year period ending in 2020 .
The study is the first to quantify how many people are dying because a warming climate is causing fires to send increasing amounts of fine particulate matter into the air.
35% of the additional deaths attributed to climate change occurred in 2020 , the year of the historic Labor Day fires in the Pacific Northwest and major blazes in California , Colorado and Arizona .
