It's been a brutal year for wildfires. Nearly 100 are raging right now across the U.S. And the season's peak hasn't even arrived.
In California, the Park Fire has gobbled up 400,000 acres since July 24, making it the fourth-largest blaze in state history.
Worsening wildfires are a result of climate change, which has created drier, warmer conditions.
That's dangerous for those in the path of the flames – but also downwind. Kids' lungs are especially vulnerable to the smoke. Their growing bodies are more at risk from climate change's effects – like worsening air quality and rising temperatures – than adults.
We discuss the impact of rising temperatures on children.

Consider This from NPR - How Nancy Pelosi came to call the shots
Speaker of the House Emerita Nancy Pelosi once told Washington Post Columnist Karen Tumulty quote "Nobody ever gives away power. If you want to achieve that, you go for it. But when you get it, you must use it."
That was in 2020, and Nancy Pelosi used her power then. She's still using it. Most recently to influence President Joe Biden's decision to end his presidential campaign.
First as a volunteer and democratic fundraiser, then as a member of Congress, and finally as the most powerful woman in political history, Nancy Pelosi has spent the better part of four decades amassing power and using it to achieve her legislative goals.
Now she's put pen to paper about HOW she did that.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Are Weedkillers Killing Illinois Trees?
Tree health in Illinois is on the decline. One major issue contributing to this is the widespread use of weedkillers on commercial farms, lawns and turf.
Herbicide drift, or the movement of toxic chemicals found in common weedkillers to non-targeted plants and trees, is damaging leaves, branches and even fruit. Not only do these chemicals affect plant growth, it’s still unclear whether it has an impact on human health too.
Reset learns how herbicide drift is hurting the long term health of natural biodiversity.
