On fire

On Fire

by digby

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but Texas is burning up. And it's burning in an unprecedented way --- these are the worst fires on record. Their global warming denier Governor Perry wants people to pray for rain, and I sure hope it works.

Matt Yglesias puts it well:

The whole situation sort of reminds me of Trotsky’s quip about the dialect. Neither Governor Perry nor the bulk of Texas’ citizens may be interested in climate change, but climate change is interested in them.


Very interested apparently.
