Fires have risen by 70 % in the last ten years. At the moment, we have out-of-control blazes throughout Southern California. We have extreme drought in the Southern States that could lead to even more fires. A report on CNN stated that a majority of firefighters believe the rise in fires is caused by Global Warming. One expert interviewed stated that, the fires in the West are burning so hot that within a few years, the forest may be desert, because it will not reforest itself.
If firefighters, who should know, believe in Global Warming, why should the Bush Administration, who are only politicians, be so set against it. Is it because of the number of oil barons in the Administration, with carbon emissions blamed for the problem? Is it time for the United States to join other countries in the battle against this Scourge which, if left unchecked, can damage or even destroy our planet?

Fires have NOT risen by 70 % in the last ten years. That is just a false statement. There have been such fires for thousands of years. I grew up in Southern California in the 1960s and I can tell you there were just as many wild filres then as there are now.
