including one of its most famous attractions. this 3000 year old sequoia known as the grizzly giant in recent years, california wildfires have destroyed thousands of giants. a quiz. fire officials say it could take days before this one is fully contained. warmer temperatures and extreme drought conditions linked to climate change are making wildfires more common. the yosemite blaze comes as much of the u. s. is in the grips of an extreme heat wave. parts of california are seen temperatures close to 40 degrees celsius. are joining me now is meteorologist matthew could produce in washington method. good to see you at the u. s. is no stranger to wildfire, but what are the, what is it about these particular fires that a so hard to contain? one of the challenges that challenges that these days we're seeing extreme while

our behavior. thanks large human change. now we've got these big, high pressure sitting over the lower 48 begging much of the country with well, of average temperatures. pushing asked, 40 almost 45 boss. now here's the thing for every degrees celsius, the air tension recent, the air home about 7 percent more walk in california where there is no water. suddenly that means you're desecrating the landscapes checking all the moisture out of the ground, right. and that much more dry fuel requires to work with at the same time. so when you have is extremely more air masses, you're say leaking the ceiling of the lower atmosphere, meaning fire, who can grow taller, the incident or extreme behavior, they know much more quickly to have different issues that are really counting things that really things in that regard. to climate change, we're also seeing wat wildfires in many european countries. is there a chance we're just paying more attention at a time video? it's easy to share from anywhere on the planet or is it as it very much seems that the threat is getting worse. i live all these days. everybody is

a cellphone camera, so we're seeing much more to it imagery, news this raley bargain ever did before, but then we're seeing much more the way of record temperatures record route. of course, those people support wildfire activity. we recently about 40000 people that were parts of france. thanks to wildfires are a way, if you about 1600 people in western europe. it's amazing that in 2022 you can still have thousands plus dying in a single unit. now that particular unit and brought temperatures up to about $4647.00 celsius in parts frames you case results you. temperatures were the 1st time on record and get this. the previous record you gave was $38.00 celsius only for us 1st time. but 34 different where station in case that are all time temperature leave are not meeting of the national revenue so amazing. stop there

and we're seeing results in real time. you know, the numbers of friday we were born for so long about the tipping point, approaching for a climate. is there a chance that we have passed so when communicate and they were like, talk about a national tipping point because well, that's true. there's inflection point. there's not a sudden even point that people really seem to focus on. yeah. and really, as long as we go, you know, a year we're going to see unfortunately, greater in past, we know we split the brakes on but much like a freight train. there's in fact will continue. now one of the issues with a change in positive feedback mechanisms, meaning we not heard in a direction in what way. and so you're kind of gathered momentum in that direction . for example, we are a little bit, suddenly polls are losing ice and he's less reflections on my face when warm, even more same thing with how much i work in the as you were water in the atmosphere as well. so again, it's not like that one way that we're seeing right now we do our la just matthew

could purchase. thanks so much. thank you. to sport now for me, the one the max staff and as extended his championship lead to $63.00 points after winning the french grown pri. now for the 1st time, shall the clear start of the rice and poll position. but disaster struck again for the, for our driver. ah, another pull position for charlotte, claire. and very soon, another sob story. the mon, aghast, had converted only 5 of his previous 15 career pulls into winds. and the list of failures grew just 18 lapse in. as he spun out of contention. oh, it was the 3rd time this year, laclare had retired while leading on the team radio. he made his frustration plane once again max pushed up and was the beneficiary of declares wos the grid at le castelli has been good to the dutchman and he took the checkered flag just as he
