Description

As scientists and activists alike warn of the increasing threat of climate change, interest in learning the consequences of it has become more important than ever. While the larger impacts of global warming are mostly well-known, the effects on individuals are less at the center of attention. This proposal aims to highlight the devastating effects wildfires have on communities, particularly in California, where increasingly intense and frequent fires have destroyed towns, while simultaneously delving into the role of contaminated water in fire-stricken towns.
