2026年1月,气候变迁使智利和阿根廷发生极端火灾的可能性增加200%,造成23人死亡和大面积破坏。 Climate change made extreme fires in Chile and Argentina up to 200% more likely, causing 23 deaths and widespread destruction in January 2026.

根据一项世界天气原因研究,气候变化使智利中部和南部的极端火灾条件更可能达到200%,阿根廷南部的极端火灾条件更可能达到150%。 Climate change made extreme fire conditions up to 200% more likely in central and southern Chile and 150% more likely in southern Argentina, according to a World Weather Attribution study. 2026年1月,创纪录的热量、干旱和可燃的非本地种植园助长了野火,造成23人死亡,1 000多座建筑被毁,45 000多公顷土地被烧毁,包括教科文组织一个地点的一部分。 Record heat, drought, and flammable non-native plantations fueled wildfires in January 2026, killing 23 people, destroying over 1,000 structures, and burning more than 45,000 hectares, including parts of a UNESCO site. 智利的所有火灾都是人为的;阿根廷的火灾是用闪电引发的。 All Chilean fires were human-caused; Argentine fires started with lightning. 该研究将全球气温上升与化石燃料排放与野火风险增加联系起来,警告此类事件将恶化而不减少排放量。 The study links rising global temperatures from fossil fuel emissions to increased wildfire risk, warning such events will worsen without emissions reductions.
