Climate change skeptics: "You won't find them on the fire line in the American west"

Boatner: You won't find them on the fire line in the American west. Because we've had climate change beat into us over the last ten or fifteen years. We know what we're seeing, and we're dealing with a period of climate, in terms of temperature and humidity and drought that's different than anything people have seen in our lifetimes.

From 60 minutes interview with Tom Boatner, Chief of Fire Operations, Bureau of Land Management
