ABC: Global Warming Caused Sedona Fire
It looks like global warming is more serious than I ever would have imagined. All this time I thought they were talking about temperature fluctuations of a few degrees in a century — fluctuations that would occur whether humans traveled by Hummer or by unicycle. But according to ABC (Anything But Credible?) News, global warming has caused Arizona to catch fire!
Here's Charlie Gibson's tease at the top of yesterday's Good Morning America:
The hot zone. Wildfires ravage the West and threaten homes. Is global warming to blame?
Reporter Bill Blakemore soon confirmed that yes it very well might be. And there's more: the smoke from the Sedona fire will make global warming worse still! WE'RE ALL DOOMED!!!
Don't forget to send your global warming anecdotes to ABC News. As you can see, they're getting a little desperate.

From some of the reports I've heard recently, the Earth's temperature has gone up about 1 degree F in the last 100 years. The average temperature in Antarctica is -37C (-34.6F) That means assuming the same rate of temperature change, in about 6600 years it will be warm enough on the poles to melt the caps. Then we are DOOMED. All the fault of the Bush administration.
I predict the next 100 degree day will be somewhere in Arizona, probably this summer. No doubt evidence of global warming. I think I'll turn up the a/c now.

So, global warming causes wildfires, and wildfires cause global warming? But man causes global warming, so does that mean that man causes wildfires?
Now, burning fossil fuels causes global warming, but wildfires can't necessarily be linked to that unless you poor gasoline on your campfire, after which it gets out of control and starts a wildfire.
Lightning strikes can cause wildfires, but we've shown that man causes wildfires, therefore man is responsible for lightning strikes, which makes sense because you have to strike a match to light your campfire, after which you pour gas on it.
If a man tosses a cigarette in the woods and no one is around to see him, does the Earth get warmer?

Lived in AZ for awhile. Sedona is one of the most beautiful places on earth (the geography, not the over rich, weird town).
Sedona is nothing more than a New Age Gommorah to the hilt
right along with its sister city "Sodom Fe" in New Mex.
Burn baby, burn!
