LOS ANGELES (WNB) - California Governor Jerry Brown said Thursday "global warming" is the culprit in a series of wildfires ravaging the San Diego area.
After being told two suspects had been arrested in connection with intentionally starting the fires, the governor's office on Friday released a statement clarifying Brown's comments (below).
Los Angeles University professor and climate expert Cynthia Johnson-Lloyd called Brown's explanation "frightening and compelling - an urgent wake-up call for the world."
