The recent Los Angeles wildfires are only the latest reminder that banks need to steel themselves against climate change both in their portfolios and in their own businesses.
New studies are finding the fingerprints of climate change in the Eaton and Palisades wildfires, which made some of extreme climate conditions — higher temperatures and drier weather — worse.
The pioneering science linking climate to weather disasters Extreme weather is becoming more destructive as the world warms, but how can we say that climate change intensified the fires in Los Angeles,
A quick scientific study finds that human-caused climate change increased the likelihood and intensity of the hot, dry and windy conditions that fanned the flames of the recent devastating Southern California wildfires.
Global warming caused mainly by burning of fossil fuels made the hot, dry and windy conditions that drove the recent deadly fires around Los Angeles about 35 times more likely to occur, an international team of scientists concluded in a rapid attribution analysis released Tuesday.

A confluence of factors is making wildfires worse. Among them: increasingly dramatic swings between wet and dry conditions in a warming world.
Global warming is worsening droughts, making sea levels rise, and fueling deadly storms. Now scientists have a new problem to add to that list: Climate change is helping rat populations thrive in U.S.
As Los Angeles recovers from its devastating wildfires, environmental engineers, urban planners and natural disaster experts are casting forward with visions of what could come next for neighborhoods that have been reduced to ash and rubble.
The potential risks from a major wildfire have been well known for years, but there was little appetite to solve those problems before disaster struck.
Billions in losses from natural disasters is triggering demand in sectors linked to wildfire recovery efforts. Read on for two recommendations with high growth potential.
