Sacramento, August 3 (RHC)-- The release of the power plant rules by the U.S. president coincides with a reminder of global warming’s impact in California, where about two dozen wildfires are raging amid a historic drought. Thousands of people have been evacuated, and a firefighter has been killed.

Daniel Berlant, spokesperson for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, said the largest of the blazes, the Rocky Fire, consumed an unprecedented 20,000 acres over a five-hour period Saturday night.

Speaking with reporters, Berlant said that 20,000 acres "is an unbelievable amount of acreage burned in such a short amount of time."
