Global warming to blame for fires, says Reid
What a moron…
Harry Reid is evidently an amateur scientist, along with being an amateur-level politician. As fires rage in nearby Southern California, forcing over 500,000 residents to flee, Ole’ Harry decided to inject a good dose of politics in a completely nonpolitical situation.

Global warming to blame for fires, says Harry Reid
To astonishment of reporters, Senate majority leader makes link
Posted: October 23, 2007Is there a political angle to the wildfires raging through Southern California?
You betcha – at least according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who said global warming is at least partly responsible for the blazes.
“One reason why we have the fires in California is global warming,” the Nevada Democrat told reporters, emphasizing the need to pass the Democrats’ comprehensive energy package.
Pressed by astonished reporters on whether he really believed global warming caused the fires, he appeared to back away from his comments, saying there are many factors that contributed to the disaster.
I should hope so.
In fact, just a casual look at most news accounts reveals that the fires have strictly non-environmental causes.
The causes of the different fires raging throughout the state varied, with a fallen power line believed to be the cause of a blaze in Malibu and arson blamed for a fire in Orange County that torched 6,000 hectares (15,000 acres).
Apparently the senator has lost his marbles, but Nevadans like me who have kept an eye on him know that he lost his marbles several years ago.
Indeed, a recent poll shows that his negatives among Nevadans have crept over 50% (to 51%), and his approval rating is at an all-time low of 32%, 2 points lower than President Bush’s statewide approval ratings.
Get on the ball, Harry, and don’t let your eagerness to make everything political get in the way of what’s left of your credibility. We all know that global warming had nothing to do with these fires. And the thing is, you probably do, too. It just didn’t stop you from running your mouth.
Deplorable.
Also of interest:
I just heard a rumor that arsonists might be involved. Globally-warmed arsonists: Reid was right!! I think I also detect the hand of the Turks. Their almost genocidal hatred of forests is well-known!
Jaytee, yes word is coming out that arson may be a prominent cause of this catastrophe. Evidently Harry feels that the unusually warm weather makes the typical arsonist a bit hot under the collar! Naturally, it prompts them to go around sparking forest fires at a greater rate!
Where is Smokey when we need him? Though a kindly bear, no doubt he would kick the crap out of these fire-starting bums!
We have had ol’ Smokey here in Virginia, but we are having rain, so we’ll send him out west to catch those firebugs and do what needs to be done to them!
It’s too late for Harry to get on the ball because he has truly lost his ” All His Marbles” and he doesn’t know where to find them and if he leaves them alone they won’t follow him home either. He is one of America’s worst enemies (in my opinion).
Virginia Rose, Smokey would beat them up! ;-)
NWVeryBerry, I agree with you. Reid is a rotten guy who is motivated mostly by political expedience. I wish the folks here in Nevada would put this guy on the unemployment line!
