Watch out for climate change scam artists claiming every bushfire is because of climate change.
As this summer shapes up to be dangerous (just like every other bushfire season for decades has been dangerous) the real threat are the pretend greenies that have stopped us doing reduction burns.
Any home lost to a bushfire is the fault of people that stopped reduction burns and has nothing to do with “climate change”.
Has anyone got hold of a few climate change activists and taken them into a bushfire ravaged area to show the impact of not doing controlled burns. If not they need to be shown first hand the results
In our area of the hawkesbury there hasn’t been enough burning off as most of the council are idiotic greens so when we get bad fires they just scream climate when it’s actually just normal Australian
weather and most of the weather people make worse with all there dramatics it was a lot hotter when I was growing up late 40s,50s,60s and we didn’t have AC and insulated homes. Very hard to find honest reporting today.
Thank you for your hard-working in commonsense approach
Through Green initiatives many thousands of Hectares have seen mass planting of Eucalyptus trees in providing a potential Koala Habitat. These areas will pose a threat to housing estates & impose restrictions to Local planning allowances. This is a flawed process reducing the potential for future housing stock through enforced Green Tape. Australia has massive areas of arid & poorly natured space. Why not create environment where little exist instead of doubling up where eventual failure will threaten lives. Eucalypts do not provide great value but do create a threat for uncontrollable bushfire. Do not blame the climate on manmade narrow minded Government initiates. These areas create conservation zones restricting pet ownership & farming frameworks that require broad based initiative like working dogs or detached dual or multiple occupancies. Green initiaves often fail the future proofing of viable farming spaces.
Most “bushfires” are caused by arson with most of the remainder caused by lightening. Crack down on arsonists and many catastrophic bushfires would disappear.
Totally agree. I grew up on a farm and after putting the crop in , there would be a tidy up. Burning rubbish , creating a fire break all around each paddock on the farm.
But! But! ‘The Climate Council’ says that bushfires are caused by climate change caused by ‘carbon pollution’ ‘greenhouse gases’ – so there! (And they are ‘scientific experts’ – so there again!)
And a pink pig just flew past …..
(Keep up the good work Malcolm; and very best wishes!)
A pattern is emerging in Western countries of climate alarmists attributing bushfires to “climate change”. They blame high temperatures for bushfires when temperature isn’t a critical factor.
Bushfires spread more easily after extended dry periods when there’s high fuel-loads, high winds, low humidity, and high temperatures. They’ll spread almost as easily after extended dry periods when there’s high fuel-loads, high winds, low humidity, and low temperatures. Canada’s recent bushfires burned through areas that still had snow on the ground.
The major factor governing intensity and spread is fuel-load – no fuel, no fire. Fuel-loads can be reduced by grazing, logging, slashing, firewood collection, clearing firebreaks, and controlled burn-offs – but the ALP-LNP twins’ green-left bureaucrats block as much of that as they can.
“O’Sullivan’s First Law” on leftist infiltration says, “All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing.” That describes the ALP-LNP twins’ bureaucracy. They love unmanaged fuel-loads because they can blame destructive fires on “climate change”.
Bushfires require an ignition source. That can be lightning, arcing powerlines, hot vehicle exhausts, metalworking sparks, sparks from slashers, and friction heat where vegetation builds up on farm machinery – but deliberate arson is probably the main cause.
Arson is committed by insurance scammers, feuding neighbours, jilted lovers, fire-obsessed kids, and increasingly commonly by extreme-left climate activists. Dozens of climate activists were arrested in Canada, Spain, and California after their recent spates of bushfires. The arrests in Spain included individuals attending a nearby climate conference.
The extreme-left are the most dangerous members of any society. They’re behind the attacks on our bushland, our energy systems, our food supplies, our personal and medical freedom, our transport systems, our prosperity, and our sovereignty.
The Greens are the most extreme Australian leftists and they recently revealed their anti-Semitism in the Senate. Since WWII, the term “anti-Semite” has meant “anti-Jew”. Since WWII, we’ve been told that the anti-Jew Germans were “right-wing,” despite calling themselves National Socialists.
Socialists, in any form, are left-wing. Racism, too, is left-wing because racism is born of collectivism – an inherent property of the left. In effect, the Greens showed us that we’ve been lied to; the Nazis never were right-wing: they were racist collectivist extreme-left socialists – just like the Greens.
Big grim fear campaigns about anything to do with weather and climate on mainstream news channels . These clowns are going out of their way using the Covid theme to scare people about weather , Cyclone Jasper Approaches , Bracing for Impact , cops making speeches , Cameron Dickhead making speeches , palm trees blowing in the wind , it’s a fuckin overkill .
And what a HUGE FLOP , we were told , it was supposed to hit the coast today but a mild meek weather report was what we had
,,, oh dear I’d better turn my swimming pool into a fur lined fallout shelter ,,,
Endless lies from the people that were tasked or should i say “selected” to supposedly represent our best interest. 99% of political puppet muppets have sold out our freedoms, health and our democracy.
Disgraceful behaviour and we the people know exactly who you traitors are.
Remember what happened to the traitors after the 2nd WW?
I do 📿
I’ve heard that greenies are lighting fires so that they can say it’s climate change . Hot weather has always been during summer , cold during winter , it’s common sense . Protesting in the street won’t change it nor will anything we do . It’s a fact of life !
The only reason it’s an issue currently is because there’s money to be gained by someone
I totally agree. There has been a huge reduction in sound management, which leaves areas in total mess primed for out of control fires. Leaving pieces of rotting timber in the bush ‘so termites have enough food’ (yes that is why you can’t pick up firewood in some places) is ludicrous! Bring back common sense and good management!
