Press Briefing: How the LA Wildfires Are Fueled by Climate Change

January 14, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Long after the typical end of Southern California’s wildfire season, tens of thousands of people have been displaced as strong, dry winds drive devastating wildfires across Los Angeles county.

Covering Climate Now will be joined Matthew Glasser of ABC News’ Climate Unit, Jacob Margolis of LAist, and Kaitlyn Trudeau of Climate Central for a one-hour press briefing to discuss how climate change is fueling more intense, fast-growing fires and examine climate’s fingerprint on the risk factors that led to these blazes. RSVP here.

Panelists

  • Matthew Glasser, Senior Coordinating Producer, ABC News Climate Unit
  • Jacob Margolis, Science Reporter and podcast host, LAist
  • Kaitlyn Trudeau, Senior Research Associate for Climate Science, Climate Central
  • Mark Hertsgaard, CCNow’s co-founder and executive director, will moderate.
