When asked if seeing the historic devastation, which stretched for miles and left neighborhoods destroyed and fields scorched, altered his opinion on climate change, Trump answered, “No.”


The global warming folks have really glommed onto these fires as evidence of global warming.

These fires happen every year, in California and other western states.

There are things we can do, to reduce the risk, and probably to improve fire fighting capabilities.

But to veer into a discussion of global warming, to deal with a threat that has been there since time immemorial, is nonsense.

“These fires happen every year, in California and other western states.”

Uh, no.

This wildfire consumed 140,000 acres, 10,000 buildings, hundreds of vehicles and killed at least 75 people.

Approximately 1,000 remain missing.

There was not a fire like this anywhere in the US in the last 100 years for sure.
