CALIFORNIA, USA — Wildfires are raging in California and Oregon. The Atlantic has seen a record number of tropical storms for this time of year. Phoenix keeps breaking heat records.

They say in 20 years or so we'll look back at 2020 and marvel about how the disasters weren't so bad. What's happening is the basic physics of climate change. Scientists know it will only get crazier because what we're seeing now is what they foresaw 20 years ago would happen.
