Human-caused #climatechange under very high emissions could double fire frequency in Yosemite National Park. Cutting #carbon pollution could keep #wildfire near natural levels.

Walking, biking, and public transit can help halt #climatechange. If U.S. cars and light trucks were a separate country, they would be the 5th largest #carbon polluter in the world. Research @pfriedling.bsky.social, doi.org/10.5194/essd...; @ctrglobsust.bsky.social, ghgi.cgs.umd.edu/reports.html

The U.S. National Climate Assessments make objective science on #climatechange publicly available so that local communities can protect people and nature from serious harm. You will find the original files, 2001 to 2023, publicly available to download, here: www.patrickgonzalez.net#us_national_...

Human-caused #climatechange, human ignitions (temperate shrublands, LA California), unnatural suppression (temp forests), #deforestation (tropical forests), are increasing #wildfire. Solutions - cut #carbon pollution, halt ignitions and defor, use natural fire (temp forests). doi.org/10.5070/P539...

In the African Sahel, #climatechange, livestock, and timber cutting have severely reduced small tree densities. Natural regeneration, conservation, and cutting #carbon pollution can help restore #trees. Research by A.M. Lykke, N. Rømer, @patrickgonzalez.bsky.social, et al. doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...

Human-caused #climatechange has increased temperatures in US #nationalparks at twice the rate of US as a whole and reduced precipitation more severely. Cutting #carbon emissions reduces future risks.

Human-caused #climatechange has caused the death of #trees and local loss of tree species in the African Sahel. People depend on trees. Natural regeneration locally can help. Cutting #carbon pollution globally is the solution. doi.org/10.1016/j.ja.... doi.org/10.3354/cr01...

In the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change #ipcc report, we found that human-caused #climatechange has driven two species extinct, increased #wildfire, killed #trees, and caused other impacts in #ecosystems. People cutting #carbon pollution can halt climate change www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...
