Climate Change and LA Fires
Climate experts state that rising temperatures are likely to cause extreme weather, resulting in historic events like the Southern California fires.
"These are not once-in-100-year events anymore."
According to National Weather Service Senior Forecaster Andrew Rorke,
"It does seem like the hotter earth is generating more and more extreme weather for everybody."
Experts agree that climate change is a contributing factor to the severity of the LA fires, with Rorke noting that they've issued three
"particularly dangerous situation"alerts in the past three months, which is usually a 5-10 year event.
