Lasrick writes "Andrew Revkin at DotEarthblog posts an assessment of the drivers of wildfire trends in the American West. He shows a graph of fire activity for the past 400 years in the Yosemite-Mariposa area, and a rather surreal time-lapse video of the current Rim Fire now burning in and around Yosemite."

    Fact: This was the one of the coolest summers on record for the USA.
    You are an idiot for even trying to blame this on global warming. Another moron who claims everything that goes wrong is AWG making anyone who might be telling the truth about it look just as stupid.

    Just quit with making shit up to fit your political views and hoping no one calls you on it. This is why no one believes any of the claims, because most of the claims are made up. Where are the unbelievable record number of cat 5 hurricanes this year? Where is LA under water from 3 meters of oceans raising? Is isn't, quit making shit up.
