In 2025, California was hit by a cycle of extreme wildfires, torrential rain and severe flooding.
Burn scars from the fires worsened the impact, triggering toxic runoff and landslides.
Communities in Southern California faced repeated disasters within a short period.
Climate scientists say these sharp swings are driven by worsening global warming.
They warn the region is becoming more vulnerable to extreme weather events.
Such conditions are expected to grow more frequent and intense in the years ahead.
Al Jazeera’s John Hendren reports from the fire-ravaged Los Angeles neighborhood of Pacific Palisades.
