Climate change increased the likelihood of wildfire disaster in highly exposed Los Angeles area 

Two firefighters stand infront of a burning banlk in LA. It is a two story white building with large flames burning from the roof.

Starting on January 7 2025 two large wildfires (the Palisades and Eaton wildfires) erupted in Los Angeles, California. The fires spread extremely quickly over the following week and are among the most destructive of human property in Southern California’s history.
