How Climate Change is Making Wildfires Deadlier Across the U.S.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses a new Oregon State University study that highlights how climate change is making wildfires deadlier. The study found that wildfire smoke, intensified by climate change, caused an additional 15,000 deaths between 2006 and 2020. The increasing frequency of wildfires, along with their growing intensity, is becoming a major public health issue.
