Australian Bush Fires Play into Hands of Climate Alarmists

Now that the term global warming has fallen into disrepute largely because global warming is slow low it's almost immeasurable, climate change has become the new save the world religion.

As even blind Freddy knows, climate is the average of weather, and weather, and thus climate, change from hour to hour, day to day, week to ... well, you get the idea. You've seen it change your whole life.

Nowadays, any time there is a weather event that looks like it might help the climate alarmists, they hop on board and make outrageous claims about how governments should have done more, or should fix the problem.

So, when the annual Australian fires began in November, climate alarmists, true to form started rabbiting on about how if only the government had stopped coal mining, brought us back to the Medieval age with no power, only candles, everything would have been better.

Then the Australian Institute of Criminology produced this interesting pie chart:

 According to the AIC, 48% of our fires are caused by humans and there is another 37% suspicious meaning they could also have been started intentionally. If the 37% were in fact lit by arsonists, that's 85% of fires caused by humans.

Every summer we have fires. Failure of backburning because of Green's policies implemented by Leftist local government bodies has meant there was a huge load of very dry, very combustible materials to ignite. And it did ignite for one reason or other.

Aided by wind created by (too many wind turbines - I'm joking yes), climate change, the fires have been particularly ruthless and fast to spread over wide areas.

To think that we humans can change the weather at this stage of our development is like thinking we can walk on water.
