You’re right - it did get sparked by that. But everything is connected on our planet: “At the same time, human factors have made the Everglades more flammable. The Everglades were drained, dammed, and beaten back by agricultural interests as well as cities to the east...”
”That turned the River of Grass into a drier grassland and left peat deposits that were formerly underwater exposed to burn. Florida’s new Republican governor has made moves to shore up the battered ecosystem, but recovery is a long ways away and big fires aren’t going anywhere.”
”And that brings us to climate change. Sea level rise is the climate impact most often associated with the Everglades as the oceans eats away at coastal habitat. But fires are also likely to increase in the Everglades...”
”Research indicates the Everglades is likely to see less rain in the coming century. That will further dry an already diminished landscape, priming grasses to burn and exposing more peat to burn according to further research...”
”Large fire season is also expected to start earlier and the number of large fires—defined as fires greater than 12,355 acres, like the Sawgrass Fire—are expected to become more common for the region.”
