The Heat Is On: Cali's Wildfire Outbreak Update

According to the Cal Fire, California currently has 30 to 40 fires raging throughout places in the state. There has been 3,102,184 acres of land burnt in the last 2 weeks with 12 deaths reported so far. Firefighters have been going all throughout the state's forests to fight them off. It has been something like we have not seen before and the most recent ones have seem to come from abnormal circumstances that are potentially climate based from changes in exposure of the ozone, to other nature based issues. Heres a picture of San Francisco last week:

Usually, they are from these main issues: arsonists, downed power lines, or the Santa Ana winds spreading a minor wildfire all along the forests. The rate of arson is not as prevalent as the other causes statistically in California. The other two come as a more common cause due to the gust breeze and transformer overloads every other week. However these fires have come during a two to four week heat wave, an anomaly that no one foresaw.

It has yet to be proven that this is from an instance of climate change, but various sources like NASA's climate change section which explains why its such a problem and to express huge concern for our world as a whole. Still up in the air for what the overlying cause for all of this is, but this should serve as an example to take action and save the world before it is too late.

Heres NASA explaining the phenomena on their site:
