Inslee declares state of emergency, blames climate change as E. Wash. wildfires rage
Firefighters appeared to be gaining the upper hand against wildfires burning in the Spokane region, although heavy smoke blanketed the state’s second-largest city.
Inslee visited a fire command center on the Spokane County Fairgrounds on Tuesday morning, and blamed tree diseases and rising temperatures caused by climate change for the state’s recent spate of record wildfire seasons.
Inslee says diseased trees and climate change have created “explosive conditions” in forests.
“Our forests and wild lands are under attack from climate change,” Inslee said.

Exposing the Big Game 
Inslee blatantly omits the connection between climate change fires and all the cattle-ranching being done on the east side of the state. And I imagine he’ll blame the wolves for all the dead wildlife and decrease in hunting tags .
I’m glad he has sense enough to blame climate change, but when it comes to pointing the finger at the actual practices that are causing it, he will probably back down. There is a lot of cattle ranching and logging going on here in Washington.
They’re going to take out the rest of the Profanity Pack too I hear – I’m not really surprised.
I’m not either. They won’t rest until they get them all. Any wolf that is born has a target on him/her until the hunters/ranchers get their way.
