The Wider Image: In love, but apart, as they fight fires in the American West
A forest service High Fire danger sign is seen next to Highway 191 in West Yellowstone, Montana, U.S., August 10, 2021. "At least over the next few decades, we are going to see these recurring really large, catastrophic wildfires," Ben Cook, a climate scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, says of the western United States. "You'll have good years, and you'll have bad years, but climate change is leading towards a trend of more area burned every year."
