  1. Nobody was thinking of dozers cutting fire breaks like has been done in some places hidtorically,,,,,,,,,, Now they will be dealing with scorched earth ,,,,,,,,,,,

  2. Since the 1960s Big Oil has spent BILLIONS trying to discredit Global Warming – which they actually had proof of occurring.
    Yes, oil company scientists were the first to discover global warming was happening as a result of CO2 from hydrocarbons.

  3. Thank you for this coverage. I watch DW regularly to break free of my U.S. view and become informed from yours. Your channel is a very important source I share with friends. In this coverage of the fires I find myself wanting maps overview of the areas, the burned areas and the fire projections. This may be because I am from California and the news outlet do this often. Great job!
