Studies: Wildfires Worse Due To Global Warming

Posted by samzenpus on from the it's-getting-hot-in-here dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to scientists we can look forward to more devastating wildfires like the ones scorching Southern California because of global warming. "The fires in California and here in Arizona are a clear example of what happens as the Earth warms, particularly as the West warms, and the warming caused by humans is making fire season longer and longer with each decade," said University of Arizona geoscientist Jonathan Overpeck. "It's certainly an example of what we'll see more of in the future.""

    I'm done arguing. I tried to reason, it failed. Believe what you want, for all I care. I'd even not give a shit if I had a spare planet to retreat to, unfortunately, I don't.

    So all I want now is the green light to shoot to kill if those that will be flooded try to climb up my mountains to reach dry land. Nothing more.
