Author Amitav Ghosh, who is in the forefront of raising awareness about environmental damage and climate change, termed the California wildfires and particularly the Los Angeles inferno as "completely predictable". He also pointed at the poorly understood idea of safety amid the climate crisis as "wealth and affluence" alone cannot save people.

In an interview to NDTV, Mr Ghosh drew attention to the "weird thing about climate change", which is a "global phenomenon that manifests locally".
