Napolitano on weird weather and climate change: 'There's a pattern here' By Zack Colman - 07/05/12 04:02 PM ET
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. Thousands of people remain without electricity because of the wind storm.
Asked point blank if the wildfires were caused by climate change, Napolitano responded, “It could be a lot of different things.”
But then she explained her view, which seemed to make a connection between climate change and the weather events.
“You have to look at climate change over a period of years, not just one summer,” Napolitano said. “You could always have one abnormal summer. But when you see one after another after another then you can see, yeah, there’s a pattern here.”
Napolitano’s comments came in response to a question at a press conference Tuesday in Colorado Springs. They were posted by Climate Desk.
In response to a question about whether the federal government is ready for weather changes caused by climate change, Napolitano said the federal government is adapting.
“I think that we are preparing. We understand and we are seeing the changing weather patterns. We are seeing right now in what already has been a difficult summer,” Napolitano said.
“So yes, we incorporate some of that into our planning,” Napolitano said. “What do we need? Do techniques need to change? Tactics need to change? This is not a static universe that we live in.”
She’s wrong about the wildfires, I read more and more stories blaming them on US citizens with guns.
Very little on this story, tho: http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=news/local&id=8647561
As the nation careens into total moral depravity,
our economy is in shambles and natural disasters are rampant...
I see a pattern, too, Big Sis.
Yes...the “pattern” is one of continued incompetence and destruction by nobama and his degenerate minions. They all should be in prison. That said...did ms incompitano ever pass a scientific method course? What a pinheaded oaf. This intellectual hobo should beg society for forgiveness. Society should give none and bring her to justice.
The only long term pattern I see nutty napolitano is that each word that comes out of your mouth and every action you take is aimed at destroying the lives of good Americans all over the country.
‘There’s a pattern here’
—
It’s called ‘braindead’ in yur case, Janet.
That soldier ended her sentence with a preposition. Nevertheless, do you see now, Mandrake, why I drink only rain water, pure distilled water or grain alcohol? Because this old world just keeps spinning around. And why is that, Mandrake? Global warming--caused by fluoride in our water absorbed by our tissues and causing the degeneration of our precious bodily fluids.
Well - there is certainly no one more familiar with wierd than Janetalia.
Ok Janet put your money where your lesbian mouth is. Remove yourself from the human race, along with all your fellow travelers, and reduce your carbon footprint.
Your self removal from the living will do way more than any of your government forced theft and redistribution of wealth schemes.
Napolitana thinks she see’s a pattern, but we also see a pattern with this administration. Marx, Lenin, Castro, Chavez, and all the other commies come to mind.
Oh no...a heat wave in summer.... what's next? a COLD snap in Winter?? Asked point blank if the wildfires were caused by climate change, Napolitano responded, “It could be a lot of different things.”
Wow... it can be caused by many things...LIGHTNING? ARSONISTS?
I am so glad the sis is a weather expert...//s//

There is a pattern alright. The pattern is controlled by Almighty God. He is fed up the immorality that has become common place in our society. Yep! He has enjoyed all of it that He can stand. Unless America turns back to the God of our Founding Fathers, it will only get worse.
“In response to a question about whether the federal government is ready for weather changes caused by climate change, Napolitano said the federal government is adapting.”
Here comes the weather tax.
There is NO link with terrorism in these fires. Why should we take radical islamist threats to start fires as part of their destroy America plan, as nothing more than idle boasts. (future Big Sis press release after mohamed I mohamed is caught starting a forest fire while shouting allah akkbar.)

Pray thanks for what she called a “pattern.” Be fearless and productive.
