Scientists say the climate crisis is making wildfire seasons longer and more destructive. Rising temperatures have created arid conditions in forested lands, which makes trees drier and therefore more flammable. This year’s wildfires have been further exacerbated by extended heatwaves and warm, dry wind patterns. 2020 has been the worst wildfire season ever in CA, with 5 of the 6 most destructive fires in state history occurring this year.

If you are looking for a way to help the environment you can use ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees with their profits. Using ecosia will not stop climate change but it is a start

Idk, if this is a dumb question, but why is it call “Glass Wildfire?” Is it a type of wildfire?

It seems nature and climate change aren't concerned with our humanly needs and desires.
