No state is immune from the threats of climate change, even if your governor or local official doesn't believe in it. Luckily, scientists are working hard to help states identify where/how they will be impacted the most. Your state probably has a summary of threats expected....go find it now!

North Carolina is the model. Trump is never leaving. Despair is a logical response.

In 2006, we determined that climate change would drive "consistent shifts in Santa Ana events from earlier to later in the season" and said this "may significantly increase the extent of CA coastal areas burned by wildfires, loss of life, and property."

Here we are today.... @umairfan.bsky.social

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street

A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire

A fireman with a hose runs across the front of a house in flames in the background

The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.
