...Southern California came early this year, spreading slowly from drought-stricken wilderness to the foothills near Los Angeles. Fire season is usually worst in October, when the hot Santa Ana winds blow over the San Gabriel Mountains.

A report published in the journal Science this spring found that not only are fires worsening as a result of climate change, but the CO[subscript 2] they release further contributes to global warming in an accelerated feedback...
