Meanwhile, in California, authorities have ordered more than 80,000 people near Los Angeles to evacuate, as a fast-moving fire continues to grow. Fed by strong winds, bone-dry brush and 100-degree temperatures, the Blue Cut fire is the latest in a series of destructive wildfires ravaging California amid the state’s climate change-fueled drought. So far this year, California fires have killed eight people and destroyed hundreds of homes. This comes as scientists have confirmed July was the hottest month ever recorded, making it the 15th straight month to smash global temperature records amid human-fueled climate change.
