The heat is on Celebs’ homes: Malibu wildfires a Costly Battle with Nature

Douglas McIntyre, editor-in-chief of Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses the ongoing Malibu-area wildfires that have burned over 4,000 acres and displaced at least 20,000 people. He highlights the financial impact on high-value properties, with Malibu homes ranging from $4 million to $100 million. The Santa Ana winds, reaching up to 80 mph, and dry brush contributed to the rapid spread of the fires. McIntyre warns of increasing wildfire threats near major cities, leading to further property damage.
