But over the last few weeks, during an unusually severe drought on the East Coast, fires have spread in New York and New Jersey. It's not clear what started these fires, but drought and dry conditions make them escalate more quickly, said Hilary Howard, a climate change reporter for The New York Times.These fires suggest in part that ongoing struggle against climate change is “completely unpredictable," she said. #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #northeastwildfires #wildfires #climatechange #extemeweather #newyorkweather #newyork #newjersey #eastcoast #weathertok #weather #wildfire
