America is on Fire Because of the Climate Crisis

Stating the obvious, but with the utmost importance:

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano this week linked climate change with the wildfires hitting Colorado. Napolitano said 'there's a pattern here' as she noted the summer wildfires as well as the East Coast heat wave and the high-velocity winds that whipped through the mid-Atlantic late last week.

Couple that with record temperatures across the continent and the fact that Washington, DC was without power for days due to a freakish inland hurricane. Yeah, we're in it. The Climate Crisis is on.
