He wrote an article for the Las Vegas Sun, taking over for another coward and liar, Brian Greenspun, editor of the Sun.
Reid wrote this: As the Mount Charleston fire raged on and ash fell from the sky in Las Vegas, another wildfire was burning in Douglas County. The Bison Fire south of Reno was the largest blaze ever recorded in western Nevada. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/aug/11/were-seeing-catastrophic-effects-climate-change/
The largest fire ever in Western Nevada? The Bison fire burned about 25,000 acres: http://www.ktvn.com/story/22806216/bison-fire-near-gardnerville-now-91-percent-contained
In 2012, the Holloway fire burned 461,000 acres.
The Winecup fire burned 163,000 in 2007.
The Tungsten fire in 2007 burned about 62,000 acres.
There have been other fires, but clearly, Reid is lying when he said the Bison fire was the largest ever recorded in Western Nevada.
Here is another lie:
The East Coast experienced extreme thunderstorms and the Mississippi River was historically low.
But Reid forgot to consult with the Army Corp of Engineers: "It's remarkable, but it's completely normal," said Jim Pogue, spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers in Memphis. "You get a low river, you get a high river, but it's completely normal."
There isn't much man can do to deal with the exceptionally low river, which at Memphis, is just about 6 feet above the record low.

Then there is this:
In fact, the National Academy of Sciences — conceived by Congress during President Abraham Lincoln’s administration — has just published a study showing there are more fires burning now in the forests of Alaska than at any other time in the past 10,000 years. Think about that. In 10,000 years, they haven’t found a time when there were more fires in Alaska than there are right now.
Yeah and I am sure there were witnesses to this and were able to observe these fires.
Finally, there is this: Unfortunately, too many elected officials in Washington still talk about climate change as if it doesn’t exist. They falsely claim scientists are still debating whether carbon pollution is warming the planet. It’s time for us all — whether we’re leaders in Washington, members of the media, scientists, academics, environmentalists or utility industry executives — to stop acting like those who deny this crisis exists have a valid point of view. They don’t. Virtually every respected climate scientist in the world agrees the problem is real, and the time to act is now. Not tomorrow. Not a week from now. Not next month or next year. We must act today.
We must act today. Everything with this administration is an emergency and that we have to act today.
We had to act today with health insurance and so we enacted ObamaCare. And now look, ObamaCare is a disaster because it wasn't thought out and almost everyone agrees that ObamaCare needs to be redone.
And finally, that arrogant asshole, Reid thinks he knows everything and those who disagree with him are stupid.
Would it be too much to ask that this SOB could resign or meet up with a head shrinker witch doctor?
Harry Reid?
