The fast-moving wildfire in southern California has now reached the celebrity enclave of Malibu, forcing a number of high-profile stars to flee their homes.
Caitlyn Jenner is one of the celebrities worst affected, with her home in the Malibu hills completely destroyed by the flames, according to TMZ. Jenner had lived there since 2015. Last year Jenner told the College Republican National Committee: “I am all for getting out of the Paris accord.”
california gets zero rain from approx April to November every year the brush and grass are bone dry so it's not climate change that's starting wildfires its someone throwing a cigarette a power line or someone setting it on purpose .
So California has always had drought, has it?
I presume the g in GMAC stands for gaslit.
there was record rain here 2 years ago but what would I know I only live here cop yourself on ffs
More carbon in the atmosphere means more powerful storms, heavier rainfall and drought
But not on Fox
https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2018/sep/20/why-are-california-wildfires-so-bad-interactiveHot temperatures and dry conditions caused by global warming are taking a toll on west coast forests. The past five years in California have been the hottest on record, and the state recently came out of a nearly six-year drought, its second worst in history.
A lack of rainfall coupled with disappearing groundwater increases the likelihood of tree death. Dead trees act as explosive fuel when wildfires start.
There are millions of dead trees in California
Because of drought, rising temperatures and a growing epidemic of migrating bark beetles that prey on trees, an alarming number of trees, nearly 129m, have died since 2010. California has removed only 1.3m of these trees in that same period: the rest litter the state's forests with tinder.
Much of California is a time bomb
The large number of dead trees, combined with California's already dry, hot and windy climate, has made much of the state susceptible to wildfires. It doesn't take a lot to start one - humans are responsible for 84% of them - and with about a quarter of California counties facing severe or worsening drought conditions, rain and groundwater are often unavailable to help put out fires.
People are moving into high fire-risk zones
California's population grew by 3 million between 2000 and 2010, and according to the risk management company Verisk, in 2017 over a quarter of the state's population lived near moderate or high-risk fire corridors.
With this increase in population comes a higher possibility of a human-made wildfire. And as people move into these high-risk area, more buildings are in harm's way: structures generally burn longer than vegetation, allowing fire more time to spread.
