Followup to Permalink #73. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com: Widespread wildfires over the western United States in 2020 linked to emissions reductions during COVID-19

Quote:
Abstract
[verbose: snip]

Key Points
  • The impacts of COVID-19 emissions reductions on weather conditions for wildfire over the western United States in 2020 were investigated
  • The COVID-19 emissions reductions increased surface air temperature and decreased precipitation and relative humidity
  • Reductions in aerosols explain one-third of the observed wildfire risk increase, whereas greenhouse gas decrease counteracts this influence

Plain Language Summary
[terse: snip]
They say the same thing four different ways.
