Devastating images have emerged of the immense destruction wrought by several fires in the Los Angeles area this week. These will likely be the costliest wildfires in U.S. history, overtaking the 2018 Camp Fire that destroyed Paradise, California.
Many are looking for a clear culprit to blame for this disaster, with climate change being one of the most popular. The fires, however, are the result of both natural and human factors. Climate change may have played a role, but other, more direct causes warrant our attention.
Holy crap – The Pacific Palisades have been totally destroyed.
It’s being reported that this will potentially bankrupt the entire Californian Insurance industry.

Amphibious 'Super Scooper' airplanes from Quebec, Canada are picking up seawater from the Santa Monica Bay to drop on the Palisades Fire. Great vid from Las Vegas reporter @CristenDrummond. pic.twitter.com/sbgwsHLlA9
