Glad to see this rebuttal in comments. There are plenty of better challenges to be made about the nature of fires in the west. "Same global climate" seems a shallow jab.
Absolutely not, it is the exact same global climate.
The lefts arguments is that global warming/climate change = forest fires.
They refuse to go into more detail about how different factors might affect the fires and poor forest management leads to bigger fires, so don't do it for them.
If their argument is climate change or global warming, then provide solid examples like Mr Woods did, and let them stumble over themselves.
The west has always burned seasonally. The claim is the already drier west was drier for longer now and is thus at more fire risk. The climate claim is about weather being more extreme. This is like saying: Florida got more hurricanes but why not Canada.
Not saying climate claims have no problems just that the original comment fairly criticizes this one week gotcha.

They can be wrong but I'm not going to use easily disproven information to try to make my point. That's how you lose credibility.
Eastern Texas (Where the forest are) generally has 3x more rainfall than Northern CA (Where the fires are)

Just because they use weak science and logic doesn't mean we have to as well.
Didn't know this, thanks. Maybe it is a fair tweet afterall.
