I was reading this article in the La times about how governor Brown was using fear mongering to equate the forrest fires with climate change check out this paragraph lmao....
Gov. Brown's link between climate change and wildfires is unsupported, fire experts say
" A team of researchers at UC Irvine recently reported that in 25 years, climate change will increase the size of fires driven by Santa Ana winds in Southern California. But their models varied on how much increase to expect: from 12% to 140%."
12--140% ???? Uhmmm ok ....
More....
Brown had political reasons for his declaration. (Forrest fires = Climate change)
He had just challenged Republican presidential candidates to state their agendas on global warming. He was embroiled in a fight with the oil industry over legislation to slash gasoline use in California. And he is seeking to make a mark on international negotiations on climate change that culminate in Paris in December.
But scientists who study climate change and fire behavior say their work does not show a link between this year's wildfires and global warming, or support Brown's assertion that fires are now unpredictable and unprecedented. There is not enough evidence, they say.
