  "textContent": "*Study finds global increase in hot, dry days ideal for wildfires.*\n\nOver the last 45 years, the frequency of such days has increased from around 20 days per year to around 60 days per year. About 60% of that (36 days per year) are caused by fossil fuel, but some of the rest is caused by other human activities such as deforestation.\n\nAs long as we keep driving global heating, we will increase our vulnerability to fire. This is why I reject the idea that today's fires, floods and storms are \"natural disasters\".\n\nA secondary problem of this increased temperature level is damage to coffee cultivation, in the main coffee-producing countries.",
