Wildfires: Climate change is ‘here & now’

Source: Wikimedia Commons

Leading climate scientist and evangelical Christian Katharine Hayhoe says the wildfires causing devastation in California are a stark reminder of the reality of climate change today.

Hayhoe, currently Chief Scientist for The Nature Conservancy, a non-profit international charitable organisation, says Los Angeles County was ‘tinder dry’ after receiving only 0.16 inches of rain since last May and experiencing ‘an unusually warm summer’.

This, she says, ‘plus low humidity and the fastest Santa Ana winds since 2011, made for unprecedented fire weather.’
