People who believe in witchcraft will think it's global warming.
It's bad forest management.

There is a point here buried in Mick's denialism. That when it comes down to it -- there are faster and more effective ways to stop the forest from burning down every year than trying to reverse the GLOBAL trend of GLOBAL warming.
It's one thing to be like: "god damn bugs on my porch -- its probably global warming" -- and then use some damn bug spray. But if I sit around acting like someone is going to fix global warming so their won't be bugs on my porch is beyond retarded.
Many agree that forest fires are caused by the Forest Service putting out smaller brush burning fires and waiting until big fires get started. Some even theorize this is because once a forest is damaged from fire -- mills can use this as a pre-text for a "salvage" operation that lets them cut down wood they normally couldn't. So we should be looking here to solve the west coast forest fire problem.
When it comes to things like tornadoes, hurricanes though...pretty much at the mercy of humans' ability to tackle global warming.
