Los Angeles firefighters up against perfect storm: Climate change and dry, gusty weather conditions

The L.A. fires have overall caused at least $28 billion in insured damage. All the while, California Republicans are expressing disbelief over suggestions by President Donald Trump & House Speaker Mike Johnson that federal disaster aid for victims of wildfires must come with strings attached. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective, FRANCE 24's Erin Ogunkeye welcomes Dr. Chloe Brimicombe, Climate Scientist & Postdoctoral Researcher at the Wegener Centre, University of Graz Austria.

It is not a perfect storm, they have known forever they were building in a scrub desert where wild fire is part of the natural cycle. Do you see any firebreaks in the city/suburb layout? Nope, not one. Its called the Folly of man, not a perfect storm.

To be fair, winter wildfires are not part of the area’s natural cycle. It’s way past fire season

I don't know if a climate scientist is the right one to have interviewed. Next time, try a professor of forest management.
