As I mentioned, this summer is hellishly hot and dry. Wildfires are starting up. Oklahoma is the example for climate change. The last two summers have been unbearable; hotter temperatures than ever and drier. Our dubious Senator, Jim Inhofe, rails against scientists and anyone else who has studied climate change; likens the theories of global warming to the liberals and their ilk. Of course we know Inhofe is no scientist, nor a statesman, he just likes to pad his pockets with monies from the energy companies and whomever else he can get money from. Inhofe, a career politician, really is an embarrassment to our state. Recently, for the energy companies benefit, he tried to get the House and Senate to relax the rules for acceptable levels of mercury being dumped into the environment. Now, anyone who has grandchildren or is pregnant knows that their doctors advise them not to eat tuna etc. because of high mercury levels. Duh... When will Inhoff get his comeuppance? He needs to be voted out of office like years ago - at this point I don't care if it is a democrat or a republican - just anybody besides him, (okay, I take that back, tea bagger people need not apply).
And after 367 posts dear folks, this is my first political post.

This wildfire photo was taken from behind my house looking south a few years ago.

How frightening!....the fires I mean ....the politician is just a jerk. I hope you get some rain and cooler weather soon. Drought and fires must be painful to watch....everything drying up and being scorched. The world is changing fast......stay safe!
I agree with everything you said about Inhofe. I'm embarrassed Oklahomans keep electing him.
The wildfires are tragic, just tragic.
