Hall of Fame Baseball Player Reggie JacksonEvery few months or so, global warming alarmists revise their talking points and march like lemmings off a cliff with a new media catch phrase. The Official Global Warming Catch Phrase of Summer 2012 is “This is what global warming looks like.”

Global warming alarmists point to wildfires in the western United States and say, “This is what global warming looks like.” They are right. This is what global warming looks like.

Similarly, data from the National Interagency Fire Center show the number of U.S. wildfires is on a 35-year downward trend.
