Climate Change and Forest Fire Link

Scientists have noted that human-induced climate change promotes the conditions on which wildfires depend.
It is also called forest, bush or vegetation fire.
It is any uncontrolled burning of plants in a natural setting such as a forest, grassland which consumes the natural fuels and spreads based on wind, topography.
These can be incited by human actions, such as land clearing, extreme drought or in rare cases by lightning.
Three conditions needed for a wildfire: fuel, oxygen, and a heat source.
Globally, forest fires release billions of tons of Carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Hundreds of thousands of people die due to illnesses caused by exposure to smoke
Factors: (1) Climate change increases the frequency; (2) Poor land and forest management
