Firefighters 'get real' from advice of NPR on climate change

Lightning, careless use of fire or arson are not the real problems causing Texas wildfires. It's global warming, so says National Proletariat Radio (NPR). And the best way to put fires out is by "getting real" on climate change.

Getting real. How profound.

So in response to that wisdom, Texas firefighters have put down their hoses, grounded their fire assault aircraft, and have taken to lobbying Washington for tighter regulations in support of global warming measures.

Rather than spraying water or chemicals on the raging blazes, fire crews are picking up plastic bags along the sides of roads and stopping motorists along Texas highways to check pollutant levels in their vehicles.

"It's working," Fire Chief Bobby  Freetoe told Vinny Boombots, a field reporter for Brain Flushings. "It's going to take a few more years, maybe a few more decades, but if we're really serious about these damn fires, we're going to have to nip climate change in the butt."

Public radio KUT in Austin reported: "It's Been A Bad Year For Texas Wildfires. It Will Probably Get Worse."

The station claimed four recent wildfires in Central Texas are part of an "uptick in fires" that "bares the fingerprints of climate change."

NPR quoted Geeta Persad, a climate scientist who claims that climate is "partly to blame" for 100-degree weather, a record originally set in 1925 and far from an anomaly in Austin.

But Donald Falk, an ecologist who is a member of University of Arizona's "Climate Justice Network" places global warming as the main problem, proving that ecologists like Falk are ideologues. He said the only way to fight wildfires is by "getting real and confronting climate change."

It was Falk's words that inspired the new approach by Texas firefighters.

So far it hasn't worked and people are dying. But there's hope that if we just recycle, drive electric cars, watch our carbon emissions, and prefer paper over plastic, those fires will die out.
