Scientists are warning that the world has entered a dangerous new era of chaotic floods, storms and fires made worse by human-caused climate change. The wildfires in Los Angeles are just the latest examples of this extreme weather.

nytimes.comThe California Wildfires Are the Latest Disaster Supercharged by Climate ChangeExtreme weather events — deadly heat waves, floods, fires and hurricanes — are the consequences of a warming planet, scientists say.

i predict that musk/trump will pull out of paris climate accord on day one. This will lead the other big polluters to ignore their targets also. This is not getting better any time soon.

Yes. Climate scientists have warned us for a long time. Maybe now the terrible L.A. example will get the message across! A climate change denier in the White House is the polar opposite of who we need now and for the next 4 years 😡 Nor do we need a traitor felon sexual predator conman in the WH 😡

Climate Collapse, more like. The seasonal areas of the ‘states I’m accustomed to living in are already losing the transitional periods, autumn and spring. Both keep getting colder/hotter respectively, to where they’re becoming indistinguishable from the winter and summer they used to stave off.

I'm prepping myself to see a lot more climate crises over the next year and a lot less support from an incompetent federal government. Also prepare yourself for the term "climate refugees" to rise on the left. The right will deny there is such a thing as climate change.

And the fault lies with TRUMP and other ignorant, greedy SCIENCE DENIERS. Thwarting meaningful measures to combat climate change and chanting DRILL BABY DRILL, like a demented 5 year old. But anything to fill his pockets. He will destroy the world for the sake of money and his fragile ego.

The fires in California are caused by eucalyptus trees that the Jonas brothers planted. Eucalyptus sap is highly flammable. Meanwhile florida is seeing the coldest winter in decades

Meanwhile a huge part of the ignorant and indoctrinated Americans right-wingers still claim that Climate Change is a "Democrats Hoax" and continue to support the big polluters and their insane greed... God Save Us all coz America is already lost...! 😒

But isn't it DEI that is causing the devastation? c'mon Elon Musk, the South African immigrant who hates immigrants, says it is so! a climate denier in 2025? how could such a thing still exist, much less a person who has bought and paid for the next US Administration.

We were also entering an ice age and we were all going to freeze in the late 80's after gas was to run out in the late 70's. Are you tired of be fed a line of carp yet. Been waiting for all the bad to happen the last 50 years. They've been wrong about everything so far.

I call upon the "celebrities" who are mourning the loss of their homes to unite to lobby, in force, against the climate-change-denying CEO's of companies in the fossil fuel industries. And BTW, it's pointless to rebuild those homes along the beach when the ocean is predicted to rise up & take them.

Not happening. Profit over people. We have to turn the shit off so they aren't profiting. Watch any of their coverage of LA and they haven't mentioned the dreaded "c" word...to busy trying to blame city officials for the inevitable

Trump's position on climate issues is weak & ignorant. He calls it a "hoax." Stooopid. So, as we all know by now, he always attacks, never defends. The Orange Felon is an old dog who can't learn new tricks. Flat-earther. Anti-science. He had California fires on his watch and learned nothing.

That is the case. He projects routinely, too, accusing his opposition of the very malfeasances that he is doing. Sends a mob to steal an election while yelling, "Stop the steal!" You can make this stuff up, but why?, unless you're a crook.

About 118 million people live on the East coast. They will have to move. It will be the most massive migration of Americans ever. We’re not going to disappear.

The response of authoritarians like Putin and Trump will be to keep on mining fossil fuels, letting global heating take its course, while retreating to habitable regions in the North and building barricades to fend off the hordes of refugees from the global South.

Ya don’t say NYT u like 5 years late with this story they said it 5 years ago where were u then It just a hype peice now to garner views come on you should be writing about the lack of effort we put into combating climate change and who’s stopping us u know the rich

How do you know an election is fake? When the vote is 80%+ in one direction. How do you know when science is fake? When 80%+ are in “agreement.” And oh, 100% of those scientists are funded directly or indirectly by government or government agencies. Wake up

But why, even though our governments know about fossil fuels and their benefits to their people, do they still strive to use them more? The Middle East, the center of fossil fuels, has been mired in war and destruction for decades... Why?

I wonder when scientists will decipher what percentage of the climate crisis war mongers like the NYT are responsible? Scientists can also tell us how war and genocide kills our planet and that you can’t bomb people to peace, but NYT is the propaganda arm of empire trying to make it look respectable

Democracy dies easily. There is an inherent fault built into the system. One person one vote is easily hacked. 1/3 of people are imbeciles. 1/3 are able to read and write. 1/3 are intelligent. About 8% of smart folks are sociopaths. Advantage Sociopaths. They’ll eventually rule any democracy.

you are wrong... its not the climate nor the weather it was lazy officials not using a budget they cut 17.5mil to clear out debris and decaying plant life, dei hires that cant do the job, emptying a reservoir basin sigh but dont fit your narratives

And here we are, propping up elected officials with the capacity to actually affect the change needed to address these crises, and that deny it, utilizing media chambers to push people to the polls to support these enablers! Complicity is going to be the end of us.

False. If it was 100,000 years ago, no one would have noticed. But thinking people wonder why the three first fires all started simultaneously? It’s almost like Newscum wanted the houses gone. Some of palisades has already been rezoned R3. High density hi rise apts.

We have to call them on their bs...if you read P25 or anything else they've said on the subject, they believe they can control what's coming and get even richer from it. It's all quite sick.

Last Trump Repub admin left the Paris Accord and overturned environmental protections,betrayed NATO and allied with Putin. Today's MAGA slogan is "drill baby drill". MAGA USA is the enemy of democracies and human rights around the world.It's a David & Goliath fight,humanity is in the balance. 😥

Warmer air is more volatile, more molecular collisions. The LA fires are a horrible new type of fire, also happened in Maui and Paradise, CA. It may have happened in parts of Australia. Combined with high winds (that ground the choppers and fire planes), fires become like bomb blasts.

Exclusively. Huh. So nothing to do with extreme drought, high temperatures and severe winds. We should have been controlled burning neighborhoods in LA all this time. Good thing we have experts on the interwebs

44 Rs voted against funding forest management in 2024 - don’t forget to put that in your article 95% of Ca open space is run by the fedS so STFU about blaming California We don’t blame North Carolina for floods or Texas Louisiana Florida for hurricanes or Oklahoma or Kansas for tornados so STFU
