Extreme weather is sweeping across the country. The wildfires in California are the most recent examples. The state is in the middle of a record-breaking fire season with three-active blazes.
Along with fires, we are seeing extreme climate in the form of hurricanes and increased temperature. These are symptoms of climate change.
