The debate is long over.

Climate change is real.

My God.

Look at this.

It is, I mean, it is block after block here.

This is a very, very major crisis.

This is one of the worst situations that we have ever seen.

We know climate change is making the kind situations that we have ever seen.

We know climate change is making the kind of hot, dry weather California has experienced in recent months more likely.

And scientists say that is increasing the number of what are known as fire weather days.

Approximately six months is the normal seasonal drought for this region, but we are now looking at about eight months since we've had any meaningful rain down here.

The winter rains that normally reduced the fire risk in California didn't come.

And now you have entire communities that are this dry, so the fire has to do very little

work.

I just don't want any parent or grandparent

to have to be in a position where 20 or 30 years ago,

little ones, or your kids are asking you,

didn't you know what was going on?

Didn't you know what climate change was doing?

Why didn't you do something about it when you knew about it?

The parched grounds in densely populated areas, a recipe for disaster.

Just look out the window at what's going on.
