Australian fires

[Salty_Aus]

WTF?, so if you are from Trump, you just have to ignore science? Facts?
You are going w/his 'you need to rake the forests' BS?
I'm sorry, did we used to clear dangerous brush and have our electrical lines and equipment well maintained, and we just stopped for no reason?
All the stuff you blame has been here for 50 years, why all of a sudden do we have fire season and rolling black outs?
I just can't believe anyone from CA doesn't buy that climate change has caused this.


And once again, there is only one network pushing this BS.
I'm sure Fox "news" presents it like it is 50/50, but it is 97/3, and you know most of those 3 % were on the Koch brother's payroll.

Do scientists agree on climate change?

Yes, the vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists – 97 percent – agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change.

Between government negligence regarding failing to clear dangerous brush and poorly maintained electrical lines and equipment, we have seen a huge increase in brush fires during the mid September to mid November months.

In Australia the federal government has been spending less money on fire mitigation and services every year. Also the greenies are very vocal and they're pandered to somewhat in regard to clearing and burning off.

Global warming is real, but to say the bushfires we've been getting is a result of GW is kinda fanciful IMO.
We've been having record droughts the last few years. If we had normal rainfall there would be so much more fuel to burn. I'm sure it's effected the situation to some degree though.
