California is dealing with so much climate change that there’s many problems going on. To it being super cold,hot,windy and rainy climate is just bipolar at times.The one climate change were dealing with is that its super dry, it’s hot in california that we don’t get as much rain so we are in a drought.
The one problem with dry climate is that it’s easy for fires to start up and not only that but we get into a drought since it’s so hot, california gets super dry and since there’s no rain at all to leave moisture it’s easy for any little spark to start a big fire. One example is a fire we had on October 9, 2017 around 9:45am at The Canyon fire near Anaheim Hills which burned 9,217 acres.The species being affected are birds, squirrels,chipmunks,insects and even us humans.
There isn’t anything stopping this, there’s nothing society can do much. I mean yeah we can respond super quick when fires break out or find a technique that we’ll have ready when a big fire starts but that’s the thing. Its natural weather, everything happens naturally. We don’t notice the fire sometimes until we start seeing the sky turn all gloomy and starts smelling burnt. Some fires start simply because it’s too hot in the environment that simply two rocks crashing against each other can cause a spark and start a whole fire burning thousands of land, homes, property that someone has had for years. I don’t know what we can really do to prevent this, we can’t magically make it rain when we need it and we can’t always prevent these fires but the only thing we can do is think about what your doing. Starting a fire is risky especially if you don’t know how to control one or even be around it. We need to put out the last bits of heat when we go camping or just don’t start fires near dry areas, near hills, nowhere near a place that can easily catch fire. The only thing we can truly do is pray that another fire does not start because we know so much land is being burned, so many things that have been around longer than us being wiped out in a few hours. Take a few minutes out of your life to check if the fire is out because if not those few minutes you didn’t bother to check, could start a fire that can last hours and burn more than what it could have in the beginning.
