Calif. governor blames climate change for fires; Death Valley has hottest month ever recorded on Earth

California Governor Jerry Brown wasn’t shy when it came to identifying the underlying culprit responsible for the glut of wildfires raging across the state: climate change.

"The fire season is so much longer and the fires are so much bigger," Brown said Wednesday when asked about the biggest difference between his management of fires now versus when he was first governor in the 1970s. "There are more fires to come, there will be more for a long time until we shift the weather back to where it historically was."
