Rep. Linda Sanchez: Global warming caused California wildfires

Rep. Linda Sanchez, the Democratic congresswoman from California’s 39th Congressional District, appeared on MSNBC’s Sept. 1 “Andrea Mitchell Reports” and did just that. She told the show’s fill-in host Tamron Hall that these wildfires have increased in “magnitude” over the years. And she knew why.
“Yeah, it’s really interesting because I’m a native Californian, born and raised here and periodically we would have fought wildfires when I was younger, but nothing of the magnitude that we’ve seen in the last several years,” Sanchez said. “And, obviously, a big contributing factor to that is that we’re in drought condition. We don’t, we aren’t receiving the amount of rainfall that we should or, quite frankly, that in years past we did.”

Fire official: Big Los Angeles forest fire human caused

Reported by: RAQUEL MARIA DILLON, Jacob Adelman , Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP)
A U.S. Forest Service official says the huge wildfire burning in the mountains north of Los Angeles was human-caused.
Deputy incident commander Carlton Joseph said Wednesday that it's not known specifically how it was started. Investigators will be trying to determine whether it was accidental or arson.
Carlton says investigators have leads that brought them to the conclusion but he will not give any further information. Carlton notes that the options were lightning or a human cause and lightning has been ruled out.
The 140,000-acre blaze erupted Aug. 26. The ignition point has only been identified as mile marker 29 on Angeles Crest Highway.

She is almost a dumb as the idiot she replaced. I feel sorry for the people in this district.

Trying to score political points off a fire is ridiculous, and blaming any one incident on the increase in atmospheric CO2 is just silly and allows people to ridicule a genuine problem.
