Climate scientist: "There's no place that's safe"

The monster that roared through L.A. County last week is still alive – but firefighters seem to have it cornered. People have started returning to their homes, or what's left of them. Insurance, if they had it, is a whole other battle.

The focus now is turning from what happened to why it happened, and what in the world is next?   This disaster is as bad as just about anybody here can remember … but is it really just the new normal?

John Vaillant, author of "Fire Weather: On the Front Lines of a Burning World," said, "Nature is telling us, 'I can't take this anymore. I cannot support you if you keep treating me this way.'"
