Federal Budget Cuts and the Growing Threat of Wildfires

Douglas McIntyre and David Callaway, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discuss the growing threat of wildfires as the federal government cuts funding for firefighting services. They highlight the challenges faced by national parks, including reduced hours and layoffs, which could make it more difficult to respond to wildfires. With hotter temperatures expected this summer, they predict that the situation will worsen as wildfire season begins.
