The entire coastal area of Australia is on fire.

It's raining and 10.8C where we are.





Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Some rain would be nice for the fires.

I didn't know you could arrest climate change.

The wild fires ravaging Australia were not caused by climate change but by people deliberately or accidentally setting them. Possibly looking for ways to drum up support for the global warming carbon tax agenda.



" Almost 100 firebugs have deliberately started blazes across Queensland that have destroyed homes and consumed thousands of hectares of bushland."-(Brisbane Times)

As firefighters remained on high alert, police revealed 103 of the destructive fires that had lashed Queensland since September were deliberately lit.

Man and woman made climate change! A few kiddy climate changers too!



How dare we ignore their noble efforts!

Australia's climate policies responsible for this wildfires, my shapely yellow ass.



Man-made culprit #1: all the firebugs who have been deliberately starting fires in New South Wales, Queensland, and elsewhere. You won't be surprised that their involvement has had very little coverage in the left-liberal MSM.



Here's a story from December headlined 'Firebugs blamed for destructive Queensland fires' — it notes:



Figures obtained by AAP reveal 98 people – 31 adults and 67 juveniles – have been dealt with by Queensland police for deliberately setting fires.



A 16-year-old boy was found to have started a fire that razed 14 homes in central Queensland and dealt with under the state's Youth Justice Act.



Two more teens, 14 and 15, were charged with endangering property by fire over a blaze that destroyed two homes and forced hundreds to flee.



Man-made culprit #2: well-meaning idiots who don't understand that unless you manage forested areas with controlled burns, you're going to end up with out-of-control wildfires.



Jo Nova has a damning story about locals in East Gippsland in the state of Victoria who successfully stopped a planned controlled burn at Nowa Nowa. Two of them were pictured holding signs saying, "Spring burns kill baby birds alive" and "Stop burning nesting birds".



One grandmother was quoted as saying, "I'm more worried about climate change, and the impact the burns are having. I'm worried for my grandchildren."



ABC — the excruciatingly left-wing Australian Broadcasting Company, so woke it makes the BBC and CNN look like Fox News — reported on the protests with some enthusiasm last September but has since mysteriously decided to delete the story from Facebook.



If this is the kind of obstructive idiocy that the mainstream media and the junk-science climate alarmism industry have created with their global warming propaganda, then the mainstream media and the junk-science climate alarmism industry have blood on their hands.



Man-made culprit #3: Greens



The people most to blame for the Australian bush fires are the greens. Just like in California, their tree-hugging Gaia worship blinded them to the reality that forests need regular clearance and maintenance if they are not to become a major fire hazard. Some Australian politicians on the right side of the argument are well aware of this:



"The problems we have got have been created by the Greens," Mr [Barnaby] Joyce told The Australian.



"We haven't had the capacity to easily access (hazard) reduction burns because of all of the paperwork that is part of green policy.



"We don't have access to dams because they have been decommissioned on national parks because of green policy. We have trees that have fallen over vehicles and block roads, so people cannot either get access to fight a fire or to get away from fires. And we can't knock over the trees because of Greens policy.



Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack has lashed the "disgraceful, disgusting" behaviour of "raving inner-city lunatics" for linking climate change to the ferocious bushfires burning across Queensland and NSW.



Yet still, in large parts of Australia, it remains illegal to remove trees from your land even in order to create fire breaks and protect your property — despite the obvious risk this ban creates to homeowners living in potential bush-fire zones. Trees have been designated a 'carbon sink', which supposedly offset Australia's CO2 emissions.

Blaming Australia's miniscule contribution to global C02 emissions for Australia's bush fires makes no sense.

Fires are deliberately lit in Australia.



And fires are started on a smaller but still significant degree, lightning.

Indeed.



Although the ones in Qld and NSW were mostly deliberately lit just like the ones in Brazil.

I'm so white hot with anger on the arsonists, I cannot even say anything on my facebook groups or I'd be reported for beligerancy.



Some of my members are volunteer firemen and firemen chiefs.

I share your anger, caskur.



My community is on a heightened state of alert over the next week and it makes me rage to think some fckwit millennial could possibly spark up.



These aren't just homes. These are human lives!



Nobody deserves to be burnt alive.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I can't help but suspect that at least some of the firebugs were alarmists looking to further their agenda.

Two main things are needed for massive bushfires – fuel and ignition. Fuel load is usually highest after periods of rapid growth and rain, followed by drying out. Hazard reduction is a preventive measure that reduces fuel load in vulnerable areas. If done with sensitivity to habitat, it works well. Politician ignoring science/engineering and having their strings pulled by greenie stupidity banned controlled burns and paths around bush areas that have allowed arsonists to inflict maximum destruction.
