Multiple fire models, within an impact attribution framework, have been used to explore how climate change is impacting fire worldwide. Results show that climate change is increasing burned area in most regions, particularly during periods of peak fire activity, and this effect is increasing over time. However, changes in population and land use are mitigating some of the effects of climate change.
