Terrible

Something for Steve Douchebag and the other smug asses at Fox & Friends to consider the next time a snowstorm hits and they mockingly ask "what global warming?"

Gusty, hot winds blew an Arizona blaze out of control Sunday in a forest northwest of Phoenix, overtaking and killing 19 members of an elite fire crew in the deadliest wildfire involving firefighters in the U.S. for at least 30 years.

And yes, the relationship between this particular incident and global climate change is tenuous at best...making it still more of a piece of evidence than a nasty blizzard (which is actually some evidence of global climate change too).

What a horrible tragedy.

Oh, hell, this won't slow `em down a bit--dead people only matter when those deaths reinforce their point of view.

Remember, intractable stupidity is a virtue at Fox.

prevention is gonna cost more as well, and the current politicians do no investing in what we need.

My favorite bit of climate-change denial this weekend:
"The record high temperature for Death Valley was set a hundred years ago."

(facepalm)
