由于夜晚变暖,气候变化使火灾季节延长了36%. Climate change extends fire seasons by 36% due to warmer nights.

发表在"科学进步"杂志上的一项新研究显示,气候变化正在消除野火活动的典型夜间平静期,导致北美各地的森林大火持续时间更长,激烈. A new study published in Science Advances reveals that climate change is eliminating the typical nighttime lulls in wildfire activity, causing fires to burn longer and more intensely across North America. 研究人员发现, 较温暖的夜间气温使过去50年中火灾发生时间增加了36%, 每年还会有数千个小时燃烧. Researchers found that warmer, drier nighttime temperatures have extended the window of fire-prone weather by 36% over the past 50 years, adding thousands of extra burning hours annually. 这种转移使得火灾在夜间不会冷却, 让控制火灾变得更加困难, 并显著增加消防员和社区的风险. This shift prevents fires from cooling down at night, making them harder to control and significantly increasing risks to firefighters and communities.
