There seems to be a looming debate between poorly managed federal forests and climate change with regard to the cause of forest fires.  Beyond this classic debate, though, I feel there may be an issue of federal funding to extinguish Oregon’s fires.  

Maybe the federal government should increase their budget for fighting wildfires, and offset this increase by shrinking federal grants to fund projects (transit, bicycle infrastructure, etc. boondoggles) that are "intended" to fight climate change, but do nothing.  With the amount of thick smoke (CO2) in the air, we need to examine the effectiveness of our tax dollars.  

Besides that, climate change has become a catchall excuse for all adverse weather.
