Mount Charleston, just a short drive from the Vegas strip, has been on fire the last few days. It is a little disconcerting for me. Because, in the back of my mind, I keep thinking this is the new normal. This is the world I will leave for my grandchildren...a world on fire because we lack the political will to act.
The fire, of course, cannot be directly linked to global warming. But, warmer temperatures lead to drier trees which leads to bigger fires.
