The Patriot Post® · Brown Ridicules Climate Skeptics

Gov. Jerry Brown ridiculed Republicans over the weekend, linking climate skeptics to California’s raging wildfires. “It is true that there’s virtually no Republican who accepts the science that virtually is unanimous,” he asserted. “I mean, there is no scientific question. There’s just political denial for various reasons, best known to those people who are in denial.” The New York Times reported in February, “[M]ost recent computer projections suggest that as the world warms, California should get wetter, not drier, in the winter, when the state gets the bulk of its precipitation. That has prompted some of the leading experts to suggest that climate change most likely had little role in causing the drought.” But the science is settled! Another report says that, of the nine San Diego County fires, eight “have a suspicious ignition point.” You can now blame criminal negligence on global warming.
