#1 Everything else is, why not this, too?

If it is a little warmer than the "average" temperature... well there ya go.

If it is cooler, well that is linked, too.

If you get too much rain that is a clear sign.

If you have a drought that is a clear sign.

#3 "global warming" doesn't cause fires. Unless you think it was spontaneous combustion (in which case, you're a idiot).

There has to be an ignition source - natural (lightning) or man-made (carelessness, arson, etc.).

Why don't they quit beating around the Bush just go ahead and say they think it's the President's fault? Everything else is.

#4 I hear impotence and small breasts are linked to global warming too.

#6 The increase in the number of global warming articles in recent years may be the result of Al Gore, researchers say.

An analysis of data going back to 1992 indicates that he wrote "Earth in the Balance: Healing the Global Environment".

"The increase in stupid articles appears to be another part of a chain of reactions to Al Gore unemployment," said Darrell, who says he's had quite enough of these idiot writings. "It is clear to me that if Al Gore and every journalist who has ever pedaled this trash were to move to Venus, there would be considerably less hot air and brain farting here on planet Earth," he added.

#7 Nothing to do with global warming and everything to do with overburdensome environtmental regulations preventing proper land mananagement that would normally prevent fires becoming large wild fires. Analsysts? pfeh...more like analists if you ask me.

#8 What Rex Mundi said. Or, more briefly, blame it on Smokey the Bear. Lots of little wildfires results in fewer big fires because the fuel is gone. Even a little Midwestern housewife knows that much! Idiots.

#10 An analysis of data going back to 1970...

Nice data set for studying trends that cover many centuries (hockey stick or not). That's like doing a national opinion poll with a few dozen respondants.

#11 Someone else may have made this comment, but I don't care. The reason there are more forest fires, that burn hotter and last longer, is that the forests of today are vastly overcrowded with fuel that cannot be removed because "environmentalists" have virtually shut down thinning, general harvest, or other fuel-removing techniques. I've seen it in Colorado. Even after the Hayman fire that damaged or destroyed 115,000 acres of national and private forests, the enviroweenies wouldn't permit the Forest Service to authorize scavaging that would have removed about half of the useful, partly-burned wood. There are dozens of lawsuits pending that will take until far after the timber is reclaimable to be solved. THIS is what is destroying our forests. We need to shoot some of the people that insist that only THEIR vision of America be allowed. They are far more responsible for an uptick in forest fires than "global warming".

#12 Very true old patriot. The enviromentalists and the far too successful fire suppression of the 60s-80s lead to this. Too much fuel on the ground and no way to get rid of it.
Global warming my ass. More like Global stupidity and mucking with the natural processes that nature has to deal with this kind of shit.

Save the planet! Kill an Enviromentalist!
