The Western United
States is currently facing its worst nightmare: The wildfires have taken over
Oregon, Washington, and California – giving life to ashes and flames as well as
a post-apocalyptic sky. 

2020 is just not
slowing down in terms of being eventful. Oregon is literally on fire as nearly
370,000 acres of land area is covered by flames – and the enchanted forest that
previously resided there has ceased to exist.

The nightmarish
photos show and tell us the level of crippleness with anxiety and fear.

A place that was
previously occupied with relatively fun activities is now consumed with fiery
red hue – looking like snippets of Dune’s trailer.

You can’t deny that
Climate Change is responsible for this and for many other
wildfires that have occurred in the past year. Due to this, the heat waves have
gotten stronger and vegetation has almost dried out.

Daniel Swain is a
climate scientist at UCLA and the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
While speaking to CNN about the destructive nature of these wildfires, he said
that they’re neither “scientifically
surprising” nor “shocking”.

“This
is in line with essentially every prediction for what could happen this year
and the trends we’re seeing over years and decades.”
