"Did you know that 8 of the 9 worst years for wildfires ever recorded have all been since the year 2000? The western half of the United States just keeps getting hotter and drier, and this is creating ideal conditions for wildfires..... scientists believe that the 20th century was the wettest century in the western half of the United States in 1000 years. During that time, we built cities in a lot of places that historically have been very hot and very dry. And now things appear to be reverting to more normal historical patterns." Wonderful, huh.... not too good if you happen to live out west. We even seem to be dry again here in Houston. endoftheamericandream/archives/why-so-many-wildfires-half-the-country-is-turning-into-an-intensely-hot-bone-dry-burn-zone
