This trend presents emerging challenges, as it can strain the international firefighting resources and personnel that countries historically share during their respective peak fire seasons.</p> <p>Following its publication, we are glad to see the study engage both the scientific community and the broader public. The research has been covered by several media outlets.</p> <p>Selected coverage includes:</p> <ul> <li><strong>The New York Times:</strong> by Rebecca Dzombak</li> <li><strong>The Associated Press:</strong> by Seth Borenstein</li> <li><strong>Vox:</strong> by Umair Irfan</li> <li><strong>The Debrief:</strong> by Ryan Whalen</li> <li><strong>The Washington Post:</strong> </li> <li><strong>The Guardian:</strong> </li> </ul> <p>I would like to acknowledge my co-authors and collaborators for their contributions to this project. We hope this work provides useful insights for global conversations regarding climate variability and extreme fire management.</p> <p>The full paper is available in <em>Science Advances</em> .</p>
