Angus King actually said...

Drought is a climate issue, as Senator Heinrich pointed out.

What is very unusual is, we talk about climate. Living in the Northeast, climate always moves west to east.

However, we are not taking cognizance of the big picture, which is the CO2 released by these catastrophic fires.

We are sick of that smoke. I know the folks on the East Coast are, and we need to do something to try to reduce the risk of these fires.
