Overview
The area burned by wildfires in 11 Western states could double by the
end of the century if summer climate warms by slightly more than a
degree and a half, say researchers with the U.S. Department of
Agriculture Forest Service and Pacific Northwest Climate Impacts Group
at the University of Washington.
