SAN FRANCISCO -- As wildfires continue to burn throughout Southern California, climate experts are highlighting the role climate change may be playing. Experts say the current conditions serve as evidence of multiple factors fueling these extreme events ...

Today, the Los Angeles Times is launching Boiling Point, a podcast about climate change and the environment in California and the American West. Yes, that’s the same name as this newsletter. I hope you’ll subscribe and listen.

Rep. Dave Min (D-Calif.) pointed to climate change as a significant contributor to the rapid spread of wildfires in California in an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday.”

Extreme weather events — deadly heat waves, floods, fires and hurricanes — are the consequences of a warming planet, scientists say.

Fires across the Los Angeles area have killed at least 25 people. The Palisades and Eaton fires continue to burn in Southern California.

Like a three-pack-a-day smoker who blames their chronic cough on allergies, or a recent flu shot — everything but their addiction — President-elect Donald Trump continues to embrace an absurd and criminally irresponsible brand of denialism on the subject of climate change.

As of Jan. 10, the official causes of the fires were unknown. However, one factor that is known to have quickly hastened the flames' spread is the powerful Santa Ana winds. These fierce winds — common from September through May — had maximum gust speeds of nearly 100 miles per hour, allowing embers and flames to quickly reach new fuel sources.

Officials on Wednesday afternoon briefed President Biden about the massive wildfires in Southern California fueled by climate change. Slashing Mr. Biden's climate regulations is at the top of President-elect Donald Trump's to-do list.

When a fire is lit, winds can serve as a blow torch, helping it quickly spread. Two of California’s largest wildfires this month were driven by hurricane-force winds gusting up to 100 mph. Videos showed 70-to-90 mph winds blowing a “blizzard” of embers across front yards in Altadena and through palm trees, setting them ablaze.

Despite the finger-pointing about who is to blame for the spread of the LA fires, veteran climate writer Jeff Goodell believes no level of preparation could have fundamentally changed the trajectory of this disaster.
