気候変動が世界を焼き出した

Rich Tyler, a spokesman for the Oregon State Fire Marshal's office, told the New York Times: "When you have a fire that burns through homes and businesses, you have open gas lines that are still spewing out natural gas, and those are burning."

Governor Brown, a Democrat, said in a news conference: "We have never seen this amount of uncontained fire across the state… This will not be a one-time event. Unfortunately, it is the bellwether of the future. We're feeling the acute impacts of climate change."

しかも一部は放火、死人も出ている

One of the most destructive blazes, the Almeda Fire, which started in Ashland near the border with California, is being treated by police as suspicious. It has been linked to at least two deaths and destroyed hundreds of homes in the towns of Phoenix and Talent.
