Credited from: SALON

  • Los Angeles is grappling with multiple wildfires, with the largest in the Palisades neighborhood covering over 17,000 acres.
  • Over 130,000 residents have been evacuated, and five fatalities have been reported due to the blaze.
  • The wildfires are compounded by prolonged drought, strong winds, and a exceptionally dry winter, attributed to climate change.
  • California governor Gavin Newsom noted that more than 7,500 personnel are working to contain the fires amid challenging conditions.
  • Criticism has arisen toward Mayor Karen Bass for not returning early from a diplomatic trip, while President-elect Donald Trump has placed blame on state water policies.
