L.A.County Fire Chief Blames Woolsey Fire on 'Extreme Climate Change'

Los Angeles County Fire Chief Daryl Osby on Monday appeared to blame climate change for the deadly Woolsey fire in Southern California and pushed back against President Donald Trump’s criticism of state officials, who he claimed were responsible for the fast-spreading blaze.

“I don’t really want to politize our efforts right now,” Osby told reporters when asked about President Trump blaming the fire on “gross” mismanagement. “I can just tell you that we’re in extreme climate change right now. We don’t control the climate.”

Looks like responsibility for sparking the blaze is going to be on the California Electric utility. A circuit failure occurred seconds before the fire was reported and spread uncontrollably.

He is not supposed to say that. According to the party line, we are in control of the climate and are to blame for the changes. The party masters won't like that.

Global warming is fake news. The fire chief is a liberal too. And this happens every year in California so you think some common sense could help alleviate the situation.

Climate change is their shield from being held accountable for their failure to protect the land and forest.

This jerk must have been talking to Al Gore and Al convinced him it was climate change. What a looney tune.

People may use the term incorrectly, but it is a FACT that weather patterns are driving up the fire risk. You can't deny that. Don't go getting all upset here when you give Trump a totally free pass on the droves of inaccurate misinformation he hits the US public with every day.

So extreme climate change is only happening in California. don't see any wildfires in Maine or Ohio. Guess the extremes only happen in Californua.

You are the one with the misinformation. Yes the weather patterns have a great effect, they are called El nino, La Nina and PDO.

Look it up, you may learns something.
