California Gov. Jerry Brown blamed climate change Sunday for the California wildfires, despite a complete lack of evidence — a day after President Donald Trump was widely criticized for blaming poor forest management.
According to the Associated Press, Brown, described as an “evangelist” for climate change, also blamed climate change deniers for the deadly fires, saying they were responsible for the deaths of California residents.
“Managing all the forests in everywhere we can does not stop climate change,” he said. “And those who deny that are definitely contributing to the tragedies that we’re now witnessing, and will continue to witness in the coming years.”
Trump’s theory is that over-regulation has led to under-harvesting of forests, leaving more fuel for fires to burn. Brown’s theory is that the global use of fossil fuels is making California warmer and drier, and more prone to fires.
The exact causes of the Camp Fire in Northern California, and the Woolsely fire in Southern California, which are currently burning across a collective 200,000 acres and have killed over 30 people, have yet to be determined.
However, the primary reason California is naturally prone to fires is that it has a broadly Mediterranean climate, with short, rainy winters; hot, dry summers; and occasional periods of prolonged drought.

Bull, Worst fire in history was in 1933. GloBULL warming was not named then.
No Jerry, people building houses and other urban development in areas where the wildfires have always been part of the natural life cycle of things is what was responsible. And also to consider is when people like your father and his immediate successor were governors of California, many of those areas were probably still relatively untouched by such development.

They don’t call him ‘Moonbeam’ Brown for no reason ...
Global warming (and I) blame Jerry Brown and the fake eco-nazis.
And of course it started Jan 20th 2017.
You know America has always excelled and in producing world champion MORONS we are truly exceptional.
Climate change has made things rough for Jerry Brown ever since the glaciers started to melt 11,000 years ago.

California...
“The only thing which diminishes its beauty is, that the hills have no large trees upon them, they having been all burnt by a great fire which swept them off about a dozen years before, and they had not yet grown up again.
The fire was described to me by an inhabitant, as having been a very terrible and magnificent sight. The air of the whole valley was so heated that the people were obliged to leave the town and take up their quarters for several days upon the beach.”
My family has managed forest land for Generations. Governor Jerry Brown is a damn liar.
Brush fires and forest fires have always happened in California. These fires happened long before liberals blamed them on global warming.
“Climate Change” was not blamed (/sarc )
Jerry Brown is a criminal. He doesn’t believe a word of the crap he spews, and is using it as cover to hide his criminal mismanagement of California.
Of course he does. Climate change is the cause of everything.
If only Trump had signed the Paris Accord, that darn campfire would never have started.
HE IS old ! He looks older than 11K years
LOL
He is such an idiot! And the Californians who vote him in! Whole bunch of IDIOTS!
Perhaps Jerry should stand on the shore and command the tides to stop in the name of Mother Gaea.
“Of course he does. Climate change is the cause of everything.”
No, no, no, You forgot, It’s climate change AND PRESIDENT TRUMP are the cause of everything.
“Of course he does. Climate change is the cause of everything.”
No, no, no, You forgot, It’s climate change AND PRESIDENT TRUMP are the cause of everything.
