The California fires erupted amid extremely dry conditions. UCLA scientists say extreme heat linked to climate change was a factor in the fires' intensity.

A device made of polymer thin films shows promise for use in wearable and portable applications. UCLA materials scientists have created a compact cooling device that continuously removes heat using layers of flexible thin films.

In a new quick-turn analysis, UCLA climate scientists found that climate change could be responsible for roughly a quarter of the extreme vegetation dryness present when the Palisades and Eaton fires began. But they say the fires would still have been extreme even without that moisture deficit.

In his first day as the 47th U.S. president, Donald Trump took action to reverse many of the Biden administration's efforts to move the country toward a green-energy economy.

Firefighters are working around the clock to contain the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire. Thousands of people were forced to evacuate when the blazes ignited and destroyed more than 12,000 structures. Here are the latest updates.

Climate scientists PolitiFact spoke to disagreed with Trump Jr. and said climate change contributed to the Los Angeles fires’ size and destructiveness. Numerous studies have linked human-caused climate change to the western U.S.’ worsening wildfires.

Neighborhoods tucked into the foothills of Los Angeles are now more vulnerable to fires as rainy seasons become more intense and dry seasons last longer.

In the mix of conditions that have contributed to the most destructive fires in L.A. history, scientists say one significant ingredient is human-caused climate change. A group of UCLA climate ...

“This change in risk requires urgent and effective societal adaptation and mitigation responses,” the UCLA scientists wrote. The new UCLA report noted that linking weather anomalies to climate ...

Climate breakdown and inequality are deeply interwoven, with each crisis exacerbates the other; according to a new report.

Exponential growth in big data and computing power is transforming climate science, where machine learning is playing a critical role in mapping the physics of our changing climate.
