There is evidence the #PalisadeFire ravaging LA is a re-ignition of a New Years fire caused by fireworks.

What may be the most damaging natural disaster in US history (measured in inflation-adjusted dollars, as if that's a true measure of damage) was likely caused by our desire to scare dogs with colorful sky-bombs.

It's long-past time we find more sustainable ways to celebrate than explosions that contribute to, and increase damage in, our ever-warming world.

@SoftwareTheron

I read it in Axios: https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-am-27e56940-d136-11ef-9649-47c71c18a828.html?chunk=2&utm_term=emshare#story2

I believe WaPo did the initial reporting. I don't have a subscription so I cannot share that.
