California has just experienced one of its worst wildfire seasons in years, despite the Golden State's ample resources to combat the blazes once they spark.

Extreme conditions helped drive the fast-moving fires that destroyed thousands of homes in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena.

Although pieces of the analysis include degrees of uncertainty, researchers said trends show climate change increased the likelihood of the fires.

In early January 2025, just a week after New Year, furious 80 mph Santa Ana winds swept through SoCal. The winds are natural, occurring when cool, pressurized desert air heats and picks up speed as it races down a mountainside.

California is investing $15 million to offset climate change threats to salmon and steelhead trout in river and stream habitats through watershed projects.

In the wake of the raging California wildfires, environmental groups are shifting the climate conversation away from mitigation, toward adaptation and resilience.

A quick scientific study finds that human-caused climate change increased the likelihood and intensity of the hot, dry and windy conditions that fanned the flames of the devastating Southern California wildfires.

North Carolina is another state prone to hurricanes—and in fact Hurricane Helene last fall triggered a Biden administration recovery effort led by Deanne Criswell, the impeccably qualified and unanimously confirmed director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. There were no conditions attached, but here are two that would have been nice.

WASHINGTON -- Study says climate change made extreme fire conditions that fed California blazes more likely.

The recent wildfires in California were worsened by climate change, a report found. The study, released Tuesday by World Weather Attribution, found that human-caused climate change increased the

A bill introduced in California’s state Legislature would make fossil fuel companies legally liable for damages from climate change, similar to current law holding utilities liable for fires
