The relationship between rainfall, groundwater, evaporation and transpiration, vegetation, bodies of water, animal distribution, agriculture, humans, and atmospheric conditions (not to mention oceanic factors and topography) underlie &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2019/06/02/drought_book_ben_cook_review/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">A New Book On Drought by NASA GISS&#8217;s Ben Cook</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

These are the worst fires Chile has seen in known history, and Chile has been keeping track of its history for quite a while. Are these fires climate change caused? Apparently so.
