flag Climate change made extreme fire conditions up to 200% more likely in central and southern Chile and 150% more likely in southern Argentina, according to a World Weather Attribution study. flag Record heat, drought, and flammable non-native plantations fueled wildfires in January 2026, killing 23 people, destroying over 1,000 structures, and burning more than 45,000 hectares, including parts of a UNESCO site. flag All Chilean fires were human-caused; Argentine fires started with lightning. flag The study links rising global temperatures from fossil fuel emissions to increased wildfire risk, warning such events will worsen without emissions reductions.
