2023 North American Wildfires

However, as the effects of climate change increase, disaster seasons are becoming less accurate. Since 2022, CDP's wildfire profile has run by calendar year. This profile covers wildfires in Canada, Mexico and the United States.

Climate change is having a significant impact on wildfires around the world and across the U.S. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, "Climate change, including increased heat, extended drought, and a thirsty atmosphere, has been a key driver in increasing the risk and extent of wildfires in the western United States during the last two decades. Wildfires require the alignment of a number of factors, including temperature, humidity, and the lack of moisture in fuels, such as trees, shrubs, grasses, and forest debris. All these factors would have strong direct or indirect links to climate variability and climate change".

Ohio Train Derailment: Separating Fact From Fiction

 

The derailment of a Norfolk Southern train that spilled toxic chemicals and led to a controlled burn of the substances in East Palestine, Ohio, has become one of the highest-profile — and most politicized — incidents of its kind in the United States in recent years. Frightened residents in the town of 4,700 have complained about various ailments in the weeks after the train wreck, which took place on February 3rd, and are worried about long-term health consequences.

Officials have said repeatedly that they have yet to detect dangerous levels of chemicals in the air or municipal water. Still, some experts have said that the authorities have not tested in enough places or for a broad enough range of substances.

About 20 of the approximately 150 train cars en route from Madison, Illinois, to Conway, Pennsylvania., were carrying hazardous materials, according to a letter from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The contaminants spilled into some waterways and affected about seven and a half miles of stream, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. By Feb. 8, the spill had killed an estimated 3,500 fish. Officials used dams to divert clean water around contaminated areas.

The E.P.A. has ordered the Norfolk Southern Train Company to clean up any resulting contamination and pay all the costs
