West Coast Wildfires Mean Billions in Damage

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that wildfires across California and Oregon are intensifying, with the Garnett Fire alone scorching 14 square miles in the Sierra National Forest. Emergency crews are stretched thin, while industries such as California’s wineries face severe losses. McIntyre warns that the total financial toll could reach billions of dollars, factoring in firefighting, insurance, and business disruption.
