GIST Researchers Find "Best Case" Goals for Climate Warming Could Still Result in Massive Wildfire Risk A seemingly small difference in global warming levels could greatly impact wildfires worldwide, researchers have found News provided by Share this article Share this article GWANGJU, South Korea, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The landmark 2015 Paris Agreement resulted in multiple studies examining the impact of global temperature increases, but these rarely investigate the effect of warming on "fire weather" conditions.
