## Resource

Arizona’s Pocket Fire has exploded to 20,000 acres, fueled by record heat, wind, and climate-driven drought—conditions that experts say are now the new normal. With snowpack vanishing and forests turning into tinderboxes, wildfires are raging across the Southwest, from Utah’s Cottonwood Fire to Colorado’s Aspen Acres blaze. Satellite data confirms global fire trends are worsening, while native trees like junipers and ponderosa pines are dying off at alarming rates. Monsoon rains may offer temporary relief but could trigger deadly flash floods in burned areas. Experts warn that without tackling climate change head-on—through emissions cuts—the region’s forests and communities face irreversible damage.
