Climate scientist and activist Peter Kalmus lived in Altadena up until two years ago, when increasing heat and dryness pushed him to leave the Los Angeles area in fear of his safety. Now, his former neighborhood has totally burned down and Kalmus says this is “just the beginning” of accelerating climate disaster.
Watch our full interview with Peter Kalmus about the massive climate change-fueled wildfires devastating Los Angeles.

The predictable, completely preventable, end is nigh!
What are maroon 🤣
People die of heat exhaustion every year here in Baltimore.
95 percent of 🔥 are ALL man made. This is NOT "climate change '/ 'global warming " (or whatever you're calling it )
How about learn proper land and Forest Management
Sorry man does not have the power to control it r change the weather no matter what your THEORY is. Climate has changed long before you and I.
Oh yeah right
No one listened to Al Gore 🤦🏻♀️
WASF!
This is really pathetic. Devastating fires have been happening in CA since people have been building houses in exactly the place they should never have been placed. Why delegitimize climate change with these erroneous agreements?!?
Don’t worry half of Americans don’t believe in climate change.😉
Per Guy MacPherson, there will come a day, when no more crops will grow. That struck me as pretty serious. King Con is not a serious person.
The fires where started deliberately
yes of course
I dont understand anyone's disbelief in the data of climate changes. I wonder is it because people are uncomfortable with having to change and perhaps fearing what may be out of our control?
You are right, it is too late the judgments of God are falling
Pollution is caused by the culture of YT men. I am not paying 25 cents for a bag to hold items wrapped in plastic. Calm down dude.
You know who is wrong about climate change when the entire world would agree on this man's statement except for a certain demographic of a certain country who votes a certain way.
Agree
Wow so the billionaires and tech industry didn't come up with solutions to fix this? All those neoliberal dbags were wrong all along! Who would have thought?!
Well if you want to protect people from heatwaves good quality housing and cheap energy might be a start
Or do you focus on changing the global climate?
What is more likely to give good results?
The cause is CORPORATE PROFIT pure and simple
Nice try lefties, its being proven the fires were started by Arson.
wake up sheep, this is ALL MAN MADE.. LOL!! ALL PLANNED OUT AND PLANNED TO TAKE OUR NUMBERS DOWN. LOL!! SHEEP SHEEP SHEEP
Lying US Politicians are willing to destroy the Earth for a miserable election.
You get paid lots of $ to follow that narrative but there’s this big hot ball in the sky called the sun and it has changed heat patterns for millions of years on earth . Hotter / Colder patterns have been confirmed and recorded through ice core samples .
A million years ago there were no cars or fossil fuels burned and the planet went through several ice ages and several heat waves.
No you got it wrong bro, this is karmageddon, you reap what you sow, genocidal america
Everything is changing except the climate deniers, which of course causes everything else to change.
you sir you are a hat lol
The Eastern hemisphere and the controllers of the Amazon Rainforest needs to fix their problems they created that the whole world is being affected by. India, China, and the burning of “The Earths Lungs” is where our problems reside. I gawk when people think the United States as a whole is creating problems, yes the mega-cities with significantly more population than some of the states populations as a whole. It’s ridiculous. Stop polluting china and India, and regrow the Amazon, and you’ll see some actual change
Try doing without anything oil.
No cars,
No mass transit,
No bikes,
No electricity. ,
No shoes, clothes. , food packaging,
Show us how …
Hint, this planet wobbles in orbit around the sun, some paths take us closer so it gets a bit warmer, 5 degrees warmer means 3x more heatwaves, and hurricanes. There is no fix for this.
Our pollution is actually saving us. Clear skies mean we get the full blast from our sun, no clouds, no shade.
Watering your garden doesn't help at 105 degrees.
Climate change is a scam. These two problems are not solvable.
If this planet moves closer to the sun , or our atmosphere thins out.
You will NOT be able to fix it.
The real scientist wirh all the history and data will tell you that there is NO clmate crisis!!! Get educated .Please!!!!
And yet china and India will never change their way.
In opposite of Europe and others, US never took any domestic measures, which is a collective global responsibility aswell.
Hollywood actress Elizabeth Chambers argues not enough was being done by the government during the LA fires. "I think it was a disaster," she remarked. "I don't think
Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom were ready.
I expect water wars and crop failures. Famine.
Stop fracking and fossil fuel pursuits. We must pursue cleaner energy. Stop dodging it. Stop denial. Stop blame. Help work for improvements!
