California’s Air Quality Crisis Worsens Due to Wildfires and Extreme Heat

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on new findings from the American Lung Association showing that air quality in California — particularly in Bakersfield, Fresno, and Los Angeles — has reached dangerous levels. Citing causes such as wildfires, drought, and extreme heat, McIntyre warns that this pollution is fueling severe health risks and is unlikely to get better due to ongoing climate challenges.
