2011's massive Arizona fire was set by humans and had nothing to do with CO2 poisoning. Tom Toles is on the 'ridicule' gravy train. He rides in the luxury 'climate' section, though climate isn't even the issue. 3 top UN climate bosses freely admit the 'climate' issue has nothing to do with climate, rather is a 'societal transformation' in which billions are transferred to the UN--no strings, no oversight. Media types are pals with 'scientists' and 'non-profits,' are sometimes married to each other, travel to exotic locales to mingle at the Tipsy Seagull and discuss how to work the the 'climate' gravy train.
8/24/11, "Feds charge 2 in devastating Wallow fire," AP, East Valley Tribune
"Federal charges have been filed against two cousins accused of accidentally causing the largest forest fire in Arizona's history by leaving a campfire unattended.
The U.S. attorney's office on Wednesday announced the charges against Caleb Joshua Malboeuf, 26, of Benson and David Wayne Malboeuf, 24, of Tucson.
The U.S. Forest Service said its investigators determined the men were camping in the Apache Sitgreaves National Forest when the fire began there May 29.
The agency said the two were out hiking when their campfire spread outside its fire ring in high winds....
The men each face five counts, including leaving a fire unattended and failing to maintain control of a fire that damaged a National Forest System....
Winds whipped the Wallow fire as it burned more than538,000 acres in eastern Arizona and parts of western New Mexico, destroying 32 homes, four commercial structures and 36 outbuildings....
Monsoon rains eventually put out the flames."...

Below is another article about the 2011 Arizona fire stating it was human caused. This is from June 2011, the one above from Aug. 2011
June 16, 2011, "Monument Fire – 40 Homes Destroyed; Army Post in Pre-Evacuation Mode," Firefighter blog
"The Monument Fire is burning in Cochise County near Sierra Vista Arizona, home to the U.S. Army’s Fort Huachuca. The 10,000 acre wind driven blaze has already destroyed 40 homes and 10 buildings described as “other”. Winds today will gust to 30 mph from the southwest which will push smoke and flames towards Sierra Vista and the Fort.
Monument Fire information from NIFC Southwest Coordination Center this morning.
–MONUMENT (Coronado National Monument- COP) – This human caused fire started 6/12, orginating 4 miles east of Hereford, AZ."=================================
Southwest droughts caused by particulate matter from Asia, not by CO2 and not even by Americans:
5/18/12, "CO2 Not to Blame for Southwest Droughts?" World Climate Report
"According to Allen et al.:
The authors argue that there is a good likelihood that black carbon emissions have been underestimated—especially those arising from Southeast Asia....“Our analysis strongly suggests that recent Northern Hemisphere tropical expansion is driven mainly by black carbon and tropospheric ozone, with greenhouse gases playing a smaller part.”...
The bottom line is that the primary influences on a major component of the earth’s atmospheric circulation and thus general weather patterns turns out to be, on further examination, not atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration changes, but rather black carbon (soot) and tropospheric ozone. And one impact from the forced atmospheric circulation changes is a tendency for more aridity across the Southwestern U.S."...

Southwest US fires fed by undergrowth not 'climate change,' necessary thinning of forests has been legislated away by so-called environmentalists:
"On the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, where thinning is practiced, the tribal lands are in far better shape."
6/5/12, "Politician should check her research," Las Vegas Sun, Letter to the Editor, Sanford Cohen, Prescott, Ariz.
"I was staying with my mother-in-law in Summerlin when I read the May 29 letter from Peggy Pierce, a Democratic state assemblywoman, who blames “climate change” for the fires experienced recently in my home state of Arizona.
Pierce is sadly misinformed about the true cause for the catastrophic wildfires experienced here in the Southwest. Once upon a time there was a timber industry in the Southwestern United States and thanks to overly zealous environmentalists, much of the necessary thinning to keep our forests healthy was abandoned, legislated out of existence.
You cannot practice fire suppression without thinning. Overgrowth feeds the wildfires we now have to endure. It is not climate change, it is legislative tyranny and the law of unintended consequences coming back to bite us all.
One need look no further than the aftermath of the Rodeo-Chediski fire, the largest fire in the history of Arizona, which burned more than 450,000 acres (as opposed to the 16,000 in this most recent Arizona fire). Years later, when you compare the Forest Service land to adjacent land on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, where thinning is practiced, the tribal lands are in far better shape. Pierce would do her constituents a big favor if she did a little research beyond the talking points that place the credibility of climate change in the same category as the “flat earth” theory. Both are equally invalid."===================================
Public officials shift focus away from CO2 to particulates:
5/21/12, "G8: Leaders open up vital new front in the battle to control global warming," UK Telegraph, Geoffrey Lean
"It seems to have gone virtually unnoticed, but the world leaders at the weekend's G8 summit look as if they have taken the biggest step in years in tackling climate change. And it's quite apart from anything to do with carbon dioxide. The summit's final communiqué, the Camp David Declaration, supports “comprehensive actions” to reduce “short-lived climate pollutants”. These substances – including black carbon (soot), methane, ground-level ozone, and hydrofluorocarbons – are responsible for about half of global warming."...
=================================
Ed. note: The structure for global 'climate' spending by the US government was set up by the first George Bush in the "U.S. Global Change Research Act of 1990." (Bush does mention CO2 near the end). At least 13 federal agencies today are charged with climate change matters via the "US Global Change Research Plan" which began as a presidential initiative in 1989 and was mandated by Congress in the Global Change Research Act of 1990." This doesn't even get into the official gambling casinos that are the carbon trading markets around the world. Will they create an "Asian aerosols" trading market?
============================
- If you mention the above to Tom Toles or anyone on the left, they will ridicule you and/or change the subject. Why not? It's worked fabulously well so far.

"They (Congressional Research Service) also noted that – like most foreign aid programs – there was a high probability that foreign countries would misuse or waste GCCI funds.

US "compliance with such (EPA) regulations costs the U.S. economy more than $1.75 trillion per year." And $55.4 billion more in policing and administration. EPA's prohibition on light bulbs will cost $10.9 billion a year.
8/23/11, "The Alarming Cost Of Climate Change Hysteria," Forbes, Larry Bell
"The U.S. Government Accounting Office (GAO) can’t figure out what benefits taxpayers are getting from the many billions of dollars spent each year on policies that are purportedly aimed at addressing climate change."...

The Ridicule Gravy Train, "disguised as just good fun":
11/1/2010, "EDITORIAL: Keeping fear of the left alive," Washington Times
"The pep rally led by left-wing cheerleaders Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert proved once again that liberals don’t understand that the American majority has rejected the big-government philosophy.
Disguised as just good fun amid the backdrop of the nation’s capital, the real purpose of the Rally to Restore Sanity/Keep Fear Alive as to heap ridicule upon the millions of concerned Americans rising up to oppose the out-of-control liberalism of President Obama and his Democratic fellow travelers in Congress.
Saul Alinsky, the radical agitator and community organizer who inspired Mr. Obama’s career, wrote, “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” When the votes are counted tonight, Alinsky - wherever he is - will be disappointed. Mr. Stewart and Mr. Colbert - Comedy Central’s faux news anchors - exposed what’s already obvious: The contrarian left wing in American politics is always eager to mock the center-right stance of the majority, but that’s hardly a formula for electoral success."...--------------------------------------------------
