Video: California Wildfires & Climate Change
Posted on 8 November 2019 by Guest Author
The Kincade and Getty fires are the latest in a long pattern of burning in California. But is climate change the culprit? And what can the fires teach us about how we'll cope with a warming world?

I was more than happy to contribute a monthly amount and become a patron. Keep up the good work.
So important to remember that the least able to adapt are and will be the most seriously affected. Nicely done.
Good job with the video. Can you share how many hits you are getting?

Actually, climate change will hit the rich and comfortable pretty hard. Take, for instance, the rich Americans, many of them responsible in big and little ways for climate change, who have retired to Florida and, of course, had to have beach front properties. In fact, more beach was created in many cases by building berms on which their houses sit with canals beside their houses for their boats. One good hurricane and presto' no more houses or boats. All of Florida sits on permeable lime stone so there is no way to stop the incursion of the sea due to sea level rise. Perhaps they will all raise their houses on stilts.
Australia's state of New South Wales is currently experiencing an unusually intense and early bush fire season here.
