In California, wildfires continue to burn near Los Angeles, but firefighters are making progress in controlling them. At least 842 homes have been destroyed in the last several days. In an interview on ABC’s This Week, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger directly linked global warming to the increasing threat of wildfires in California.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: “Through global warming, we have now a fire season all year round. We used to have fire seasons only in the fall. But now the fire seasons start in February already. So this means that we have to really upgrade and have more resources, more fire engines, more manpower, and all of this, which, of course, does cost extra money.”
