high temperatures, low humidities, high winds, and an increase in eco-terrorist arsonists are ALL causing more forest fires.
I told some doofus on MSN that it is garbage that climate alarmists ignore the effects of population on the damage that drought does. The west coast "fire season" is more devastating as the population has doubled the in the last 50 years. Combine that with no longer clearing under brush like they used to and that creates trouble. I had the same doofus tell me an electrical transformer explosion is not a made made case of a fire. Even if it was taken out by a lightning strike it is a man made object that would not exist if man did not.
The California fire issues are nothing but too many people and poor land management.
