Mark said...: I believe them because they are observed phenomenon by longtime residents who live off the land. Because an accountant from Atlanta doesn't, has no merit on the matter at all. Consider the pine bark beetle wiping out Canadian forests, also from my book. It used to get cold enough to kill the larvae, slowing down their effect. Now it doesan't so it just spreads like wildfire. Then comes the wildfire literally.

I can't help it if conservatives like Roger Ailes and his propaganda machine don't buy it. They're stupid. And wrong.; 10:55 AM
