Lava that creeps into neighborhoods. Fierce drought that materializes in a flash and lingers. Earthquakes. And now, deadly fires that burn block after historic block. https://apnews.com/article/hawaii-fires-disaster-declarations-0344e3c954db7e0635cdaa8e87e25c92? Why this matters: This month alone, the federal government declared six different fire disasters in Hawaii — the same number recorded in the state from 1953 to 2003. Within that same period, Hawaii averaged one federally-declared disaster of any type every two years. Now it averages more than two in a single year, about a four-fold increase. What’s happening is mostly because of changes in land use and the plants that catch fire, said the University of Hawaii’s Clay Trauernicht. From the 1990s on, there has been a “big decline in plantation agriculture and a big decline in ranching,” he said. Millions of acres of crops have been replaced with grasslands that burn easily and fast. “Climate change is going to make this stuff harder,” Trauernicht said.

Photo: David Swanson/AFP via Getty Images The era of simultaneous climate disasters is here to stay, Axios extreme weather expert Andrew Freedman writes. This new reality is now on full display from Texas to Canada. 🖼️ The big picture: Most observers did not have so many extreme weather events — all happening at the same time — on their climate change bingo card for 2023. Tropical Storm Hilary made a rare incursion into California, yielding flash flooding, mudslides and nearly unheard-of rainfall rates in the middle of the desert. The deadliest wildfire disaster in modern U.S. history struck Hawai'i, with links to climate change. In the central U.S., a record-breaking heat dome is spiking heat indices to staggering territory between the Twin Cities and Houston. Canada's worst wildfire season on record has forced evacuations and threatened heavily populated areas while sending plumes of smoke to the U.S. and Europe. A tiny frog sits in the bottom of a hanging planter as it is watered during an extended heat wave in Harahan, La. Photo: Gerald Herbert/AP Zoom in: The climate impacts this summer are merely a preview of what the planet may look like after warming at least 1.5°C (2.7°F) above pre-industrial levels — the threshold beyond which scientists say climate change could cause catastrophic damages. That has already been achieved, albeit briefly, bolstered by human-caused climate change and record-hot oceans.
