As the wildfire devastating Central Washington rages on, the left remains intent on ascribing the tragedy to global warming. President Obama gave weight to the explanation when, during his fundraising stop in Seattle, he charged global warming as a primary culprit saying it had “a lot” to do with the wildfires. Obama,
“A lot of it has to do with drought, a lot of it has to do with changing precipitation patterns and a lot of that has to do with climate change.”
The Sightline Institute—a far left environmental policy organization—highlighted Obama’s words in a recent email pointing supporters to a talking points memo for “some simple, powerful sound bites to frame every possible conversation (and news story) about wildfires…” Sightline’s email emphasizes the importance of putting “wildfires into context in clear, simple terms the way Obama has.”
Sightline may offer its supporters Obama’s example, but environmental activists don’t have to look much farther than the organization itself for clarity on the subject. Sightline’s email uses extreme language in laying the blame for wildfires on global warming. The email reads,
“Climate change isn’t the only culprit creating the conditions for more severe and dangerous fires, but it doesn’t take a climate scientist or even a great detective to see the fingerprints of human-caused climate change on most wildfire crime scenes.
“Climate change is making for wildfires in the American West that are more severe and more difficult to fight. Some are “calling the new climate-fueled wildfires “monster” or “mega” fires.”
In an effort to look less extreme, notice Sightline’s brief admission that global warming is not the “only culprit” to what they later refer to as “new climate-fueled wildfires.” Of course, Sightline cannot help but immediately follow its insincere “admission” with a little condensation and the full force of extreme language—all for the purpose of using tragic circumstances for political gain.
This might matter if Obama knew what he was talking about. He doesn’t.
Whew, good thing we have Obama, who apparently now knows less than I thought he did before… traipsing around the country taking money and spouting more gibberish…
“it doesn’t take a climate scientist or even a great detective to see the fingerprints of human-caused climate change on most wildfire crime scenes” Nope, all it takes is a loony liberal loser to try and pin everything on AGW for fun and profit. Just ask Governor Carbon Pollution.
Actually, if you read the article, “A lot of it has to do with drought, a lot of it has to do with changing precipitation patterns and a lot of that has to do with climate change.”
Poor babies, get a life & GED.
Funny when I was growing up there were forest fires in both western and eastern Washington brought on by lack of rain(drought), low humidity, lightening strikes and human causes. I am now 73 so that makes it happening in the 1950, a time when I can well remember. When the humidity hits 33 % the loggers and all workers had to leave the forest until the humidity rose above that low number. One of the huge causes of raging forest fires is the changes in the rules in forest land management. No longer are foresters and private land owners allowed to do selective clearing, which removes much of the fuel for the fire. Check it out folks, not enough room to explain ti here. Global warming as explained currently is a load of bunk!! If we would stop listening to the likes of Al Gore and the cowardly scientists, who just go along along to get funding for bogus studies, we might concentrate on cleaning up all the oceans. Now that is really important. Again, check it out.
