From a climate perspective, wildfires should be the first things on our minds for many of us in the U.S., said Marshall Burke, an associate professor of earth system science at Stanford and lead author of the study. Most people do not see sea-level rise. Most people do not ever see hurricanes. Many, many people will see wildfire smoke from climate change, Burke added.

Their results were in line with previous studies of smoke emissions across earlier time periods and more limited geographic areas.
