Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on new data from The Guardian linking rapid snowpack loss in the western U.S. to increasing wildfire risks. He explains how warmer temperatures and administrative cutbacks during the Trump era have worsened the situation. McIntyre warns that wildfire frequency and severity will likely escalate due to both climate change and reduced federal preparedness.
