Wildfire Risk in Southeast Spike Like Those In California

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses a Washington Post report highlighting how the Southeast is now as wildfire-prone as California. The key difference is that more people live in high-risk zones in the Southeast than in many wildfire-prone areas of California. As cities like Atlanta continue to expand, more homes and communities will be in danger, making wildfires an increasingly urgent issue in the region.
