@realDonaldTrump 4/ According to a climate science report released last year, Western #wildfires have gotten worse because of increasing temperatures & drought. #climatechange hcne.ws/2LVQ4by
@realDonaldTrump 5/ In a 2015 report, @forestservice attributed longer #fire seasons to a warming climate. hcne.ws/2KmvbAK #photos
