And this sleazy old fool is also a Mormon. They used it against Romney, but Reid is the real scum!... "Harry Reid wasted no time blaming the fire’s devastation on global warming."
This old fool knows nothing about climate change, or much else, except lining his own pockets through political favors. Claiming "Global Warming" sets the stage for more Federal money coming to him. m/r
The American Spectator : Burning Man
Harry Reid’s claims about wildfires and global warming are half-baked.
About a month ago, a wildfire ravaged about 28,000 acres over the mountains around Mount Charleston, Nevada, leaving burn marks and charred land 35 miles northwest of Las Vegas. The fire, declared a major disaster by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, forced the evacuation of over 500 people, threatened over 500 structures, and was rated the nation’s number one wildfire priority on July 7.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wasted no time blaming the fire’s devastation on global warming. Though the senator from Nevada doesn’t usually discuss climate change in his press conferences, he addressed the issue twice in one week and called for more funding for the Forest Service to clear away the dry brush that fuels wildfires.
“Why are we having them? Because we have climate change. Things are different. The forests are drier, the winters are shorter, and we have these terrible fires all over the West,” Reid told Nevada reporters, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Terrible fires all over the West? It’s true that both natural and manmade wildfires destroy millions of acres across the U.S. landscape every year. What Reid neglects to mention, however, is that the number of these fires has significantly declined in recent years.
