Are the California wildfires Jerry Brown’s Katrina?

. . . 'Guess what Jerry Brown is focusing attention on? That’s right:

California Gov. Jerry Brown warns that catastrophic wildfires will keep ripping through the state as the climate warms. (snip)

He said a warming climate has contributed to catastrophic wildfires. “That’s the way it is with a warming climate, dry weather and reducing moisture.” said Brown. “These kind of catastrophes have happened and they’ll continue to happen, and we have to be prepared to do everything we can to mitigate.”

The governor has positioned himself as a leader in the fight against climate change.

"And guess what Brown doesn’t want anyone to focus on? The Mercury-Newsheadlines: “Gov. Brown vetoed 2016 bill aimed at power line, wildfire safety' ”

. . . 

"He wants to save America, and the world, I bet. After all, he is already the longest-serving governor in California history, and thanks to term limits he was grandfathered out of, he always will be.

"This gigantic wildfire may be his legacy, instead."
