Texas Tech Plant Ecologist: La Niña One Major Cause for Texas Wildfires
A Texas Tech University plant ecologist said a natural weather event called La Niña has much of the blame for the recent rash of wildfires.

About 1.5 million acres of Texas has burned this year, and a Texas Tech University plant ecologist said a natural weather event called La Niña has much of the blame for the recent rash of wildfires.
Dylan Schwilk, an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, researches plants and fire. He’s studied the effects of wildfires in places such as the California, South Africa, Australia and Texas.
The current fire problem in West Texas is being fed by dormant, warm-season perennial grasses throughout the high and rolling plains area he said. Last year’s El Niño event helped these grasses grow thick. After going dormant for the winter, and because of this year’s La Niña drought, it’s left plentiful fuel lying on the ground.
“Here in West Texas, we get these powerful, low-humidity winds,” he said. “It’s amazing what fire will carry through out here. Even in heavily grazed areas, the winds lay fires flat. It’s very likely the relatively good rain we received last year contributed to higher fuel loads.”

Perry spokesman responds:

“Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan responded, “It’s outrageous President Obama would use the burning of 1,500 homes, the worst fires in state history, as a political attack.”


Wild Thing’s comment………
Obama’s lack of decency knows no bounds — he is making fun of the devastating wild fires in Texas.

TomR, armed in Texas says:

La Ninas almost always brings warmer temps and less rain to the Southwest. El Ninos do just the opposite. kinda like liberals always bring economic crises to the market place.

Wild Thing says:

Tom, great comparison!!
