Scientists blame a new weather phenomenon dubbed 'hydroclimate WHIPLASH' for California's devastating wildfires - and predict similar events as global warming continues
As the LA wildfire is on track to be the most devastating blaze ever in Southern California, a timely new study identifies the cause. Scientists at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) have uncovered a global pattern of what they're calling 'hydroclimate whiplash' – rapid swings between intensely wet and dangerously dry weather.
