Climate change is fueling massive fires across the West with "hotter, drier" weather conditions, with scientists saying conflagrations will double, warned Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who has dealt with four bad fire summers.
The Governor upbraided U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, who declared at a California fire scene last weekend: "This has nothing to do with climate change." Zinke blamed "extreme environmentalists" for blocking the thinning of forests.
Zinke is blowing smoke, said Inslee, surrounded by children at Lawton Elementary School, adding: "Interior Secretary Zinke would flunk any science test that these kids take
"With climate change you have a hotter, drier climate, Mr. Zinke. You have fires. What is there about this that you cannot comprehend . . . This man works for us. We do not pay him to give us fasle information. We get enough of that from the President."
