The two largest wildfires in the US have burned land nearly the size of New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago combined

"There's no human intervention that can save these forests if we don't stop climate change," Washington Gov. Jay Inslee told CNN on Friday. "All of us want more aerial assets, more bulldozers, more trained personnel, but it's kind of like if there's an arsonist at loose, and we have to corral the arsonist. We have to go on the offense."
