Conflagrations such as the Waldo Canyon fire may make climate change skeptics easier to convince.Last week, my parents had to pack their belongings and flee as the Waldo Canyon fire barreled toward their house in Colorado Springs. They were among 32,000 people forced from their houses by the fire, which has destroyed nearly 350 homes.
