Which Way, L.A.?
Is LA at Risk for a Giant Wildfire? High winds, high temperatures and low humidity have made for extreme—and unpredictable—fire conditions in Northern California.

Tom Scott studies natural resources at the Center for Conservation Biology at UC Riverside. Jason Funk is Senior Climate Change Scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
