Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here

The ash of the Rocky fire was still hot when Gov. Jerry Brown strode to a bank of television cameras beside a blackened ridge and, flanked by firefighters, delivered a battle cry against climate change.
The wilderness fire was "a real wake-up call" to reduce the carbon pollution "that is in many respects driving all of this," he said.
"The fires are changing.... The way this fire performed, it's not the way it usually has been. Going in lots of directions, moving fast, even without hot winds."
"It's a new normal," he said in August. "California is burning."
Brown had political reasons for his declaration.
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.
University of Colorado climate change specialist Roger Pielke said Brown is engaging in "noble-cause corruption."
Pielke said it is easier to make a political case for change using immediate and local threats, rather than those on a global scale, especially given the subtleties of climate change research, which features probabilities subject to wide margins of error and contradiction by other findings.
Other experts say there is, in fact, a more immediate threat: a landscape altered by a century of fire suppression, timber cutting and development. . .

Tune into Weatherbell and Joe Bastardi if you want the FACTS!
The climate alarm koolade drinkers like Jerry Brown are either cynical bastards or pie-eyed fools.
Governor Moonbeam’s link with reality is unsupported as well...
Yes... the very nature of fire itself is changed by global climate change. My God, what have we wrought? Are people in this country seriously that stupid to believe that fires burn hotter or are any different than fire has ever been because of anthropogenic climate change? Wow.
Education has gone way downhill in this country. The answer to your question is yes, people really are that stupid.
Earth to Gov. Moonbeam

There has been no WW III. You haven't got the slightest clue how to fight WW III. Will it be nuclear EMPs from Iran, Russian tanks in Germany, Chinese hordes in San Francisco, or Klingons from outer space??? You have no more ideas about what the WW III response needs to be than you have on how to deal with the climate. Believe me, Gov. Moonbeam, your pathetic reaction to both is irrelevant.
If they’re CDF fire people, they’re toast.

Gov. Browns’ link between his brain and his mouth is hard to explain.
Fire Change HaPPens!!
Yes, Jerry.. So winds do change,
If you ban wind, what will make wind turbines spin?
Birds hitting them?
Sorry, MoonBeam. You obviously failed science as a kid.
Like everything in liberal behavior, his remarks are motivated by hate.
