Climate Change?

 There has been a lot of focus on climate change in the news lately.  The wildfires of the west coast have gained a vast amount of attention worldwide as have Trump's interesting remarks on the topic.  After meeting with the Governor of California, the President stated to the media that he did not always believe science.  Thus, he blamed forestry for the raging inferno that had devistated the area instead of climate change or even individuals such as the woman hosting a gender reveal party who set ablaze 10,000 acres on her own with a floating candle lantern.  

Obviously, I don't know who is right or who is wrong on the topic, but I assume that scientists have put a lot of research into it and would trust their opinion.  Either way, the wildfires have certaintly changed our current weather.  The blanket of smoke emitting from them has led to below normal temperatures in our area.  Today's high was in the low sixties.  After the hot, dry summer that we had that was a shock to the system.  I finally decided to turn the heat on when the temperature in our house reached 66 degrees.  I even ran the fireplace in the living room for a little while.  The plus side of the cooler temperatures was that it was perfect bonfire weather outside and we spent the majority of our evening enjoying our fire pit.
