US: Experts warn catastrophic wildfires could be new normal

Dry conditions and record temperatures have caused wildfires to spread along the West Coast of the United States over the past couple of weeks.
The industrial-scale burning of fossil fuels has changed the planet, and fires are but one consequence.
Widespread fires create a negative feedback loop, speeding up climate change.
Scientists say catastrophes like the one we are seeing now may be the new normal.

Al Jazeera's Rob Reynolds reports from the US state of Oregon.

Our economic system is the opposite of "economy." A tree is worth more if you cut it down. Every blade of grass is for sale. No more. The system has got to go.

Blame the United States for polluting the earth, (does that sound like the US condemning other countries?)😂

Plant 3 trees for every 1 tree fired! Start planting! I didn't see any other solution.

It’s normal. Trump is always right.
