California: Instead of rain or snow the state is getting wildfires in the dead of winter
California has a serious drought, it did not get such a weather in over a century. Drought is causing serious problems for farming besides other uses of water. Drought is affecting other states as well, but California is the worst hit. Drought is causing out of control wildfires and the state needs more firefighters.
What climate change deniers have to say about this situation?
" it did not get such a weather in over a century." So such is not unprecedented. .......climate change deniers Climate changes. I have not found anyone 'denying' that yet. But the technique of Poisoning the Well by use of pejoratives is well established. Calling names is what one does when imagination runs out. It also 'frames' discussion in the terms chosen by the one proposing to state others' views in addition to his own, conveniently proposing a Strawman. http://my.opera.com/oldephartte/blog/2013/08/28/spotlight-on-junk-science http://my.opera.com/oldephartte/blog/2013/03/24/denier http://my.opera.com/oldephartte/blog/2013/03/08/climate-of-obfuscation
Kind of gives new meaning to the phrase "fiddling while Rome burns," doesn't it, LD?
