Florida’s famous oranges are vanishing, and they may never come back. Find out how climate change, a rampant disease and growing real estate development are killing orchards off.
Wildfire season across the western U.S. is no longer confined to a few summer months. It’s stretching longer and growing more intense as rising temperatures, prolonged drought and earlier snowmelt dry out the landscape. Experts warn that with heat, wind and highly flammable vegetation aligning more often, even a single spark can quickly explode into a fast-moving, hard-to-control blaze.
The West will experience a "slow boil" as heat continues to build across the region for the next several days. Numerous daily high temperature records are expected to fall.
Fire crews in southern Florida are battling a growing wildfire in the Everglades. The blaze has grown to over 8 square miles. That’s the size of more than 4,000 football fields. It remains just 30% contained.
