A fiery wake-up call for climate science

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 24 February 2020; doi:10.1038/s41558-020-0707-2

To improve climate resilience for extreme fire events, researchers need to translate modelling uncertainties into useful guidance and be wary of overconfidence. If Earth system models do not capture the severity of recent Australian wildfires, development is urgently needed to assess whether we are underestimating fire risk.
