[…] In the north, a summer fire season has been driven by high temperatures and low humidity. In Southern California, fall fire season is driven by east winds. With climate change, though, both the summer and fall fire seasons have grown longer, and are melting into each other, overlapping in time and space.\u201d [Joshua Stevens<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
