Since we discuss this subject a lot in the Fasting thread, I thought it might be of interest to us.

Research by scientists from UCLA and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory strengthens the case that climate change has been the main cause of the growing amount of land in the western U.S. that has been destroyed by large wildfires over the past two decades.

Yeah, I think it is pretty obvious that climate change is causing problems for the entire planet.  It is unfortunate but so many of our leaders deny that there is any cause to do anything because it would cost too much or be inconvenient.  I don't have that many years left on the planet but I wonder what kind of world the young are going to have.

I wonder too and that would make for a good discussion.
