Federal Court Voids 3 Districts In Texas Taegan Goddard's Political Wire by Taegan Goddard “A federal court panel late Friday invalidated three Republican-drawn congressional districts in Texas, including one in Travis County, for violating the U.S. Voting Rights Act,” the Austin American-Statesman reports. “However, in voiding the districts, drawn by the Texas Legislature in 2011, the panel did not mandate or discuss any remedies to correct the problems.” “But the long-awaited ruling has the potential to create more districts with larger populations of Latino voters, ‘and probably more Democratic districts, which would be good for Democrats in Texas, and also nationally.'”

I just read the articles you referenced. There was no "science" in any of them. They were opinions. There was no direct link between fires and global warming. These was the supposition that 1°C would suck so much moisture out of the tree it would make it vastly more likely to burn. It is a perfect example of the garbage science you and other Warmist nutjobs are relying on. Suspect this, suspect that, but it isn't science. If you want to know the facts, you do a damned experiment. You control the temperature in one place and not in the other. They you see how easily they burn. Or whatever. You can't just say, "A warmer climate also leads to earlier snowmelt, which causes soils to be drier for longer. And dry soils become more susceptible to fire. "The areas where wildfires are taking place are always areas that [have become] drier and hotter, and where spring has come earlier," said Funk. Drier conditions and higher temperatures increase not only the likelihood of a wildfire to occur, but also the duration and the severity of the wildfire." This is not science. It is creative writing.
