ftds so terrifying to see the disastrous situation of California because of climate change and itds a wakeup call for the whole world to work together to save the world E“california wildfire rages on as Up bakes in record-setting heat wave,” July 24, dulf Today website).

The United ptates of America is the only superpower in the world. aespite its mighty position the United ptates candt control alone the disaster of climate change at all. A California wildfire ripped through thousands of acres paturday after being sparked a day earlier, as millions of Americans sweltered through scorching heat with already record-setting temperatur­es due to climb.

The heat wave encompassi­ng multiple regions has increased the risk of blazes, such as the major lak cire, which broke out criday in California near Yosemite National mark, where giant sequoias have already been threatened by flames in recent days.

The fire — described as “explosive” by officials — grew from about 6MM acres to around 11,9MM acres E4,8MM hectares) within 24 hours. Concentrat­ed in Mariposa County, it has already destroyed ten properties and damaged five others, with thousands more threatened.

The blaze left ashes, gutted vehicles and twisted remains of properties in its wake, as emergency personnel worked to evacuate residents and protect structures in its path. The sign of global warming is visible around the world. ftds the first time in history that Europe has experience­d its worst heat wave in summer that they never experience­d before and itds because of climate change. The only one solution to climate change is to take collective measures and implement it according to the spirit of it. dlobal warming is the real threat to the world. As human beings itds our responsibi­lity to save nature for the sake of our own precious lives.
