Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that the Gifford Fire in California has already burned nearly 40,000 acres and is spreading rapidly due to ongoing drought and high winds. He warns that such fires are often part of a larger pattern, and nearby regions like Malibu and even Las Vegas are at serious risk of experiencing multiple additional wildfires in the near future.
