And strong Santa Ana winds. In the mix of conditions that have contributed to the most destructive fires in L.A. history, scientists say one significant ingredient is human-caused climate change. A group of UCLA climate scientists said in an analysis this ...

Firefighters are working around the clock to contain the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire. Thousands of people were forced to evacuate when the blazes ignited and destroyed more than 12,000 structures. Here are the latest updates.

In what California’s governor is saying may be the costliest disaster in U.S. history, the southern California wildfires have killed dozens, destroyed thousands of homes and forced tens of thousands to evacuate.

In a new quick-turn analysis, UCLA climate scientists found that climate change could be responsible for roughly a quarter of the extreme vegetation dryness present when the Palisades and Eaton fires began. But they say the fires would still have been extreme even without that moisture deficit.

In his first day as the 47th U.S. president, Donald Trump took action to reverse many of the Biden administration's efforts to move the country toward a green-energy economy.

Many factors, such as strong Santa Ana winds and urban planning decisions, played into the recent destructive wildfires in the Los Angeles area. But the evidence is clear that climate change contribut

“This change in risk requires urgent and effective societal adaptation and mitigation responses,” the UCLA scientists wrote. The new UCLA report noted that linking weather anomalies to climate ...

New research from UC scientists links intensifying wet and dry swings to the atmosphere's sponge-like ability to drop and absorb water.

The result raises the question of whether the fires could have been easier to control were it not for the fire-fueling effects of climate change.

Climate scientists PolitiFact spoke to disagreed with Trump Jr. and said climate change contributed to the Los Angeles fires’ size and destructiveness. Numerous studies have linked human-caused climate change to the western U.S.’ worsening wildfires.
