California Wildfire: California is mostly desert . . . its dry . . . ever been there when the Santa Anna Winds are blowing . . . this is evidence of Human-caused Global Warming . . . nuts!!! Record Temp in TO: Could it be due to the masive amounts of pavement and concrete that weren't there during the warmest decade in the 30's??? Regional events are not evidence of clmate change, certainly not fires. CO2 is not causing anything to change, it doesn't work that way, scientists say that it increases because of warming, not the cause of warming!!! When its 40 below in TO next February . . . will that be evidence of global cooling???

What causes global warming? Carbon dioxide and other air pollution that is collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up. Coal-burning power plants are the largest U.S. source of carbon dioxide pollution -- they produce 2.5 billion tons every year. Automobiles, the second largest source, create nearly 1.5 billion tons of CO2 annually.
Are warmer temperatures causing bad things to happen? Global warming is already causing damage in many parts of the United States. In 2002, Colorado, Arizona and Oregon endured their worst wildfire seasons ever. The same year, drought created severe dust storms in Montana, Colorado and Kansas, and floods caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage in Texas, Montana and North Dakota. Since the early 1950s, snow accumulation has declined 60 percent and winter seasons have shortened in some areas of the Cascade Range in Oregon and Washington
Is the earth really getting hotter? Yes. Although local temperatures fluctuate naturally, over the past 50 years the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history. And experts think the trend is accelerating: the 10 hottest years on record have all occurred since 1990. Scientists say that unless we curb global warming emissions, average U.S. temperatures could be 3 to 9 degrees higher by the end of the century
We have broken two records in the past month in T.O. and dont give me some bullshit that this is just a cycle.
Global warming could worsen California wildfires LAKE ARROWHEAD, Calif. (AP) — Drought- and beetle-ravaged trees in this mountain community stick up like matchsticks in the San Bernardino National Forest, bypassed by the fires still smoldering, but left like kindling for the next big blaze. Welcome to the future.
Fires that charred nearly three-quarters of a million acres could presage increasingly severe fire danger as global warming weakens more forests through disease and drought, experts warn.

Nacho,
How do you think the trees survived through the last global warming perioud?
Or more importantly, the last global ice age where the entire continenet was under a mile of ice?
Good thing we've had global warming since then or we'd all be ice cubes.
Perspective is everything.
