But I still try to do it in one on one conversation.
Does anyone have the patience to partially fisk this crap here?
How about if each reader takes a paragraph, or even just a phrase, so that the thread becomes one big fisking?
I'll start with this one.
[Each of the more recent years have seen our public lands overwhelmed with exotic species and uncleared brush -- all as a matter of policy. None of that is EVER written in these "news" reports as the cause of the fires -- providing the fuel through human-hating policies.]
And the average number of acres scorched every year since 2000 is almost double the average of the previous 50 years -- 598,000 acres annually now, compared with 264,000 acres a year then. [This is like an arsonist crowing of how much damage he's caused.]
If it falls into the sea, then there goes 52 EV for democrats.
In the Pacific Northwest, the Indians used periodically set their own forest fires whenever the undergrowth got too thick.
“A new peer-reviewed paper published in Energy & Environment analyzes 24 years of data from the European Meteosat weather satellite and finds global temperatures decreased over the period 1982-2006”
“Climate change is “an immediate and growing threat” affecting the state’s water supplies, farm industry, forests, wildlife and public health, the report says”.
I’d say GOVERNMENT is the immediate and growing threat be it local, state, or federal!!!!!
This will cover the years not included in the dataset I linked to upthread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3051872/posts?page=9#9
I wish I knew how to post the chart itself, but my link brings you directly to it.
Ohmigosh - we have been talking about how COLD summer is this year in Los Angeles. It’s mid-August, it’s been 79 and 81, quite lovely - fog until early afternoon, cool nights. The EPA is desperatte.
Of course terrorist have nothing to do with fires. Fault lines and tectonics have nothing to do with earth quakes and water only rises on one side of the oceans. Volcanoes don’t put out any appreciable CO2.
Gee that's odd, since there hasn't been any for a decade, and in fact we're now experiencing global cooling.
As for hotter summers that is so much BS. CA has had at least the last two summers, including this one, at lower temps than normal. Right now, in August our hottest month, Northern CA is seeing temps in the upper 80s(predicted to be 85 today)I have never seen temps this low in August, I am 71 and have lived here most of my life, normally we get a two or three week period of above 100. July was also cooler than normal for most of the month.
So much for "global warming".
Did the sea level change at the GGB or perhaps one or two major quakes over the last century moved the LAND?
Acres burned increased - what changes took place in fire-fighting approach (e.g. let it burn vs aggressive tactics), what logging changes and forest management changes that resulted in more fuel per acre occurred?
There are plenty of factors to be analyzed for each claim of doom.
I love science, but I’d rather be a witch-doctor than a climatologist.
Obviously, OBVIOUSLY, that says more about the land management practices since 1950 than some the climate,.
Even the UN IPCC says you are all lying... no warming in 15 years and Arctic Ice larger this year than in the past 100 years and the globe is cooling... even saw a show on Discovery where some Glaciers are growing. STFU liars.

Federal mismanagement of U.S. forests has increased the number, size and cost of wildfires over the past decade. Historically, the national forests have been logged to provide lumber for commercial activities, to promote forest recreation, species protection and management, and to prevent wildfires.
In recent decades this has changed. Pressure and lawsuits from environmental lobbyists have prevented or delayed both commercial and salvage logging, turning many of our national forests into tinderboxes.

So sad. If California would only levy a tax on carbon, it would stop Global Warming in its tracks.
They don't clear the brush or the trees. Bark Beetles have been a big problem too. Also a large number of the fires were started by arsonists.
We never hear anything about the damage caused by radical enviromental policies.
These so called scientists are a disgrace.
Interesting that "global warming" has resulted in a cooler than normal summer here.

BTW, a good article (Sea Level Rise Surprise (S. Fred Singer)) was posted on here a couple of days ago and a graphic from it is posted below:
