Jacob Bendix, professor of geography and the environment in the Maxwell School, was quoted in The Los Angeles Times stories “California hit by record-breaking fire destruction: ‘Climate change is real, it’s bad’ “ and “Wind and low humidity bring elevated fire risk to parts of Southern California.” Bendix, who specializes in wildfire distribution, remarked on the effects climate change is showing in California saying, “the exceptional fire weather this year and in recent years does not represent random bad luck.”
