Climate change wiping out millions of California trees
- Millions of California trees, including Joshua trees, sequoias, and bristlecone pines, are being lost to wildfires, drought, extreme heat, and disease exacerbated by global warming.
- The mortality rates of trees in California have far exceeded normal levels, with an estimated 36.3 million dead trees counted in 2022 compared to 9.5 million the previous year.
- The changing climate and increasing temperatures are causing stress on trees, leading to death, and allowing bark beetles and other pests to flourish, further contributing to tree loss.
