You ever notice when articles like this give examples how recent the examples they give are? They compare the fire season from 1987-2003 to 1970-1986. The reason they do not have larger comparisons is because most likely prior to 1970 California experienced fire seasons just as long or longer than as now.
It was the same way in comparing Hurricane seasons, they mention the last 20 years or so on how many more there were. But neglect to inform readers that we had worse hurricane seasons in the 1940's and 1800's.
Global warming fanatics do not represent the history of droughts or weather patterns fairly because if they did it would show that over a 100 or 200 years everything bad that is happening now has happened before.
Hardly ever in weather events will you hear this is the worse EVER. Usually you will hear stuff like this is the worse Ever SINCE 1940 etc.....Kind of like the drought in Oklahoma, it was Global warning's fault but when the compared it they said worse since the Dust bowl days. Well what caused the Dust bowl? Was it cars? I don't think so.
