Are the forest fires on the west coast the reason or something else,can't put a finger on it why this is happening?

A Northern California logistics consultant was unable to book containers on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) or Union Pacific (UP) railroads for the first week of September going to and from U.S. West Coast ports and Midwest destinations.

The consultant said, “I have been working in the industry for thirty years and I have never seen anything like this. It’s weird.”

    Well not to worry the greenies are saying the Glaciers in the Arctic are melting so fast that coastal cities are going  to be under water anyway.Better Buy now I predict higher prices across the board very soon.

    The team says a similar pattern was likely at play in 2012, and with the climate continuing to change at such a rapid pace, these kinds of conditions are probably going to become the new normal.

    Unfortunately, the researchers say that current climate models don’t account for this kind of mechanism. That means that future melting may be twice as bad as is currently predicted.

    One online commentator, sitting in for Rush, claimed the counties with the issues with fires were Democratic and had not practiced forest management in 30 years, so they could say it's all the fault of climate deniers.

    If so, I am sure they definitely waited for a fire to start naturally and didn't go out there and start fires just before an election.
