Climate scientist and activist Peter Kalmus lived in Altadena up until two years ago, when increasing heat and dryness pushed him to leave the Los Angeles area in fear of his safety. Now, his former neighborhood has totally burned down and Kalmus says this is "just the beginning" of accelerating climate disaster.

Watch our full interview with Peter Kalmus about the massive climate change-fueled wildfires devastating Los Angeles.
