Judge rules: Drs. Spencer, Lindzen, Happer are not credible expert witnesses! So reports John Abraham ( Professor of thermal and fluid sciences at the University of St. Thomas, Minn) in a recent UK Guardian story about this important milestone. It's no great shock to anyone who's spent any time examining the claims of these God Father's of 'science by echo-chamber, slander and misrepresentation'. ... Exposed: Academics-for-hire agree not to disclose fossil fuel funding Leading climate-sceptic academic, Professor William Happer, agreed to write a report for a Middle Eastern oil company on the benefits of CO2 and to allow the firm to keep the source of the funding secret. Happer is due to appear this afternoon as a star witness in Senate hearings called by Republican Presidential candidate Ted Cruz.... A striking resemblance between testimony for Peabody Coal and for Ted Cruz Contrarian witnesses made many of the same arguments in a court case for the world’s largest private-sector coal company as they did in Ted Cruz’s senate hearing whatsupwiththatwatts.blogspot.com

Fire suppression and accumulation of tinder cause more destructive fires. We should go back to burning it off periodically like the Indians did.

Droughts and fires were worse in the past. Read this, which is a "Review and Update of the 1995 Federal Wildland Fire Management Policy".https://www.nifc.gov/PIO_bb/Policy/FederalWildlandFireManagementPolicy_2001.pdf

A screen-shot from the report is below. At CO2 < 300-ppm and the Earth 2F cooler, 145 million acres burned annually, where "fire has been a frequent and major ecological factor in North America." Read the report, you could learn something outside of empty rhetoric.
