Question
Climate change has played a major role in the 5-fold increase in wildfire activity in CA and the western US over the past few decades. Which one of the following conditions is not contributing to this increase in wildfire activity? CA's century long policy of total fire suppression An increase in the use of prescribed burns by CA land owners and managers but without state regulations or training for controlling these burns - leading to an increase in the number of uncontrolled wildfires. A shift to whiplash climate patterns: an extended warm season that is characterized by drought conditions; in turn, a compressed wet season is characterized by more extreme precipitation events leading to increased vegetation growth and fire fuel. Warmer temperatures overall are leading to greater evaporation of soil moisture and drying vegetation.
