Obama's Ag Sec. Vilsack: Humans emitted CO2 which caused warming which caused species to invade which caused more dead vegetation which caused more forest fires

Vilsack blames climate change for disasters | News | KMA Radio
Vilsack blames climate change for the wildfires that have devastated hundreds of acres of cropland, native prairies and forests in Nebraska and several other states.

“Last year, we spent nearly $2-billion at the USDA fighting and suppressing these fires which are a direct result of the accumulation of fuel load directly linked to invasive species which resulted from warmer climates as a result of warmer temperatures,” Vilsack says. “So, the impacts are real in real terms to communities to families to farms to ranches.”

Strangely, Vilsack does not mention the reduced budget for keeping the forest undergrowth down.

What a total cart of BS. THe fire suppression program over 40 years accumulated huge amount of dead wood and undergrowth. THAT's why fires have been so hot and hard to put out. However, fires are significantly down, regardless.

Add to this story the fact that people keep moving out into the woods [like it is just a city with lots of trees]. When the fires start THEN they start clamoring for help. They build their living rooms in the woods, and when it burns to the ground in a forest fire, they cry that there must be more fires since they never saw any when they lived in town.

Wouldn't the species that have migrated away and/or died off due to that oh so evident "climate change" make it a NET push?

This guy like ALL obama regime gnomes is so pathetically informed and willfully ignorant that their contributions to this issue are completely useless.
