Why California's Wildfires Are Getting Worse

California's wildfires are becoming more intense due to climate change. Experts warn that these fires are here to stay and will impact every industry in the region. The problem isn't new – it's been building for over a century. Wildfires are natural, but human development and climate change make them worse. Santa Ana winds are normal, but this year's were extreme. The weather has been all over the place – hotter, drier, and wetter. This combination creates perfect conditions for rapid fire spread. Scientists are frustrated by the political blame game. They agree that we need to accept that fires are beyond our control right now. The destruction will last for years, maybe decades. It's a wake-up call to change how we live and build. Non-native plants make fires worse, and burning homes release toxic chemicals. Hollywood can help by telling inspiring climate change stories. People may leave California due to these fires. We can't stop climate change, but we can adapt. Experts say we must change how we live and build. It's time to face the new reality and make smart choices.
