Author: "Nature is telling us, 'I can't take this anymore. I cannot support you if you keep treating me this way' John Vaillant says climate change is making disasters like the L.A. fires even fiercer.

Climate scientist: "I don't think there's any place safe from climate change".

"Fire Weather: On the Front Lines of a Burning World" is author John Vaillant's latest book on climate change.

He says the fires are a warning that the Earth will continue to get drier and more volatile unless we do something about climate change. "It's only going to get hotter. And so, Nature is saying, 'Wake up! We are in this together,'" he says.
