“Forest Service Says it Started All of New Mexico’s Largest Wildfires”
By Koen Jacobs, May 28, 2022
Reuters reports:
Two blazes that grew into New Mexico’s largest ever wildfire were both started by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the agency said on Friday, prompting the state’s governor to demand the federal government take full responsibility for the disaster.
Forest Service investigators determined the Calf Canyon Fire was caused by a “burn pile” of branches that the agency thought was out but reignited on April 19, the Santa Fe National Forest said in a statement.
That blaze on April 22 merged with the Hermits Peak Fire, which the USFS started with a controlled burn that went out of control on April 6, the agency previously reported.
The combined blaze has so far torched over 312,320 acres(126,319 hectares) of mountain forests and valleys, an area approaching the size of greater London, and destroyed hundreds of homes.
“The pain and suffering of New Mexicans caused by the actions of the U.S. Forest Service – an agency that is intended to be a steward of our lands – is unfathomable,” New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham said in a statement.
The Reuters report now makes Yahoo News its ‘climate change’ expert Ben Adler look like a complete fool for claiming that: “Climate change is why New Mexico’s wildfire season started early this year. […] Scientists say that [these wildfires are] not just a freak occurrence but rather the new normal caused by climate change. ‘We’re really seeing an increase in these fires outside the normal summer season, the normal warm season, really across the West,’ Kaitlyn Weber, a data analyst at the research organization Climate Central, told Yahoo News.”
That Adler at the time of publishing his ‘expert view’ was not aware yet of the fact that the USFS was responsible for the fires makes no difference at all. His reporting sucks, his research skills are a joke, and his expertise is nonexistent.
What kind of ‘journalist’ are you really when you still keep on parroting the same worn-out ‘man-made climate change’ nonsense, that in this case, too, really is fake news?
