Current Affairs Australian Bush Fires

He’s used the devastating fires as an excuse to further his own misguided assertions. No mentions of the victims or environmental impact. Pretty abhorrent behaviour if you ask me.

Hes a sad man.

Imagine ignoring mountains of scientific data, and then citing portions of and article that supports their argument...and then calling out folks for ignoring the science they've just cherry picked.

I hope everyone is safe.

Currently on the Gold Coast trying to put a bush fire out in my pants.

Incredible scenes here

apparently the smoke from the fires is covering new zealand. For reference, that would be the equivalent of the smoke from a fire in Romania being visible in Liverpool
 
Anyone interested in a calmer analysis beyond the media "man made climate doom" cause headline, see below.

"It has become customary to see wildfires – either in Australia currently, the Amazon in August or last autumn’s serious fires in California – as evidence of runaway, accelerating global warming. Yet, contrary to the Greta-esque narrative that ‘the Earth is on fire’, the amount of land burned annually around the world by wildfire – as measured from Nasa satellite data – fell by around a quarter in the 17 years from 1998 to 2015. This was reported in a paper in Science Magazine two years ago, which mapped the change in incidence of fire across all continents. There were some parts of the world where the incidence of fire increased over that period, namely parts of northern Canada and Alaska, the US Mid West, parts (though far from all) the Amazon basin, southern Africa and a relatively small patch of central Australia. But this was more than offset by places where the incidence of fires reduced – most notably across large parts of West Africa, but also over most of Australia. "

Greta-esque sounds like Trump mate. You may be correct but as we enjoy a balmy December it cannot be denied the climate is changing in a big way. Yes the media will spin things as they do with everything but that does not mean the ice is not melting fast

Don't know about that mate. I'm up in the far north and our skies have been pretty clear, occasionally a bit of cloud and a full sky of stars at night.
