Aucune victime n’a été déclarée pour le moment mais les premières évacuations commencent à être ordonnées. Le «Madre Fire» intervient alors que l’administration Trump coupe dans les budgets des agences environnementales.

Avec la prolifération des drones sur les champs de bataille modernes, les armées du monde entier cherchent des moyens efficaces pour contrer cette menace agile, bon marché… et potentiellement mortelle. En France, une nouvelle arme se prépare à entrer en service, et elle promet de faire le ménage dans les airs : le Rapidfire Land, un système de défense anti-aérienne développé par Thales et KNDS France, qui s’attaque aux essaims de drones, aux hélicoptères, aux avions légers — et même aux roquettes et mortiers.

Toxic pollution from wildfires has infiltrated the homes of more than a billion people a year over the last two decades, according to new research. The climate crisis is driving up the risk of wildfires by increasing heatwaves and droughts, making the issue of wildfire smoke a “pressing global issue”, scientists said.

Human-caused climate change increased the likelihood and intensity of the hot, dry and windy conditions that fanned the flames of the recent devastating Southern California wildfires, a scientific study found. But the myriad of causes that go into the still smoldering fires are complex, so the level of global warming's fingerprints on weeks of burning appears relatively small compared to previous studies of killer heat waves, floods and droughts by the international team at World Weather Attribution. Tuesday's report, too rapid for peer-review yet, found global warming boosted the likelihood of high fire weather conditions in this month's fires by 35% and its intensity by 6%.
