I was on a business trip to the US from the 7th to the 13th, staying in Silicon Valley and Las Vegas. During this time, the wildfires that broke out in Los Angeles were the talk of the town in the US. Attention was focused on the fact that the damage had spread to high-end residential areas. The fact that Hollywood celebrities were affected seemed to have added to the buzz. The cause of the wildfires is still unclear, but there is a strong view that they were natural, as there was unusually little rainfall this year and the weather was dry. In short, abnormal weather caused by global warming is more or less involved. (Kei)
