Climate Change
 

The west coast is being devastated by fires. They seem to get worse each year.

CBS news blames the west coast fires on climate change? The fires might be the cause of climate change. Smoke covered most of the west coast.

It is a La Nina year - correlated with dry and warm weather in the west.
