Climate Change Fueled the LA Wildfires And Bigger Hurricanes, New Study Confirms

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, discusses a scientific study confirming that climate change significantly increased the likelihood of the LA wildfires. Research from World Weather Attribution found that extreme heat and dry conditions—key wildfire drivers—were 35% more likely due to climate change. He also highlights how rising ocean temperatures have strengthened hurricanes in Florida, Louisiana, and Texas. As climate-related disasters become more frequent, the link between extreme weather and global warming is becoming undeniable.
