Australian PM Downplays Climate Change as Cause of Deadly Fires

How many of the Australian fires have been attributed to arson? ...and 12 year olds?:(
 
How many of the Australian fires have been attributed to arson? ...and 12 year olds?:(

"A 2015 satellite analysis of 113,000 fires from 1997-2009 confirmed what we had known for some time – 40 per cent of fires are deliberately lit, another 47 per cent accidental. This generally matches previous data published a decade earlier that about half of all fires were suspected or deliberate arson, and 37 per cent accidental. Combined, they reach the same conclusion: 87 per cent are man-made.

"The cycles of the seasons are changing beyond that which can be explained by known forces, both ancient and modern. Every lethal wildfire since 1857 has happened at the height of summer. Until now. The size of these fires has never been seen in Australia's history this side of summer, and certainly not starting as early as September.

"Seasonal changes, in part due to climate change on top of natural oscillations causing the drought and westerly winds, have some origins in man-made emissions. More directly, however, the source of ignition is human."

Australia is not the country with a a dumbass leader when it comes to a climate change denier?!!

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said climate change is “one of many factors” behind the out-of-control bushfires that have ravaged the nation since winter, and it was not credible to draw a direct link between the two.

“I have always acknowledged the connection between these weather events and these broader fire events and the impact globally of climate change,” Morrison told a news conference Sunday, as the blazes continue to claim homes and lives amid a record heatwave. “But I’m sure people equally would acknowledge that the direct connection to any single fire event, it’s not a credible suggestion to make that link.”

Morrison returned to Australia Saturday night after cutting short a family vacation in Hawaii to attend to the fire crisis, which saw Sydney yesterday facing a “catastrophic” level of danger. In New South Wales, the most populous state, eight people have been killed, 800 houses destroyed, and more than 6 million acres (2.4 million hectares) -- an area the size of Massachusetts -- burnt out since the fire season started unusually early this year. Fires are also raging in Victoria, Queensland and South Australia, where media yesterday reported one person had died.

Fires were set by arson

It takes a REAL dumbass to believe that fires are the result of man caused climate change. Some inconvenient facts for promoters of this farce:

Below is the composition of air in percent by volume, at sea level at 15 C and 101325 Pa.

Nitrogen -- N2 -- 78.084%
Oxygen -- O2 -- 20.9476%
Argon -- Ar -- 0.934%
Carbon Dioxide -- CO2 -- 0.0314%
Neon -- Ne -- 0.001818%
Methane -- CH4 -- 0.0002%
Helium -- He -- 0.000524%
Krypton -- Kr -- 0.000114%
Hydrogen -- H2 -- 0.00005%
Xenon -- Xe -- 0.0000087%
Ozone -- O3 -- 0.000007%
Nitrogen Dioxide -- NO2 -- 0.000002%
Iodine -- I2 -- 0.000001%
Carbon Monoxide -- CO -- trace
Ammonia -- NH3 -- trace

29% of Earth is land mass. Of that 29% humans occupy less than 1% of that area. Of the remaining 28% about 40% is pure wilderness. 14% is true desert and 15% has desert like characteristics. 9% is Antarctica. Most of the remaining 22% are agricultural areas. There may be other areas with a human footprint of some kind.

The notion that man is causing the planet to heat up based on CO2 that amounts to less than 1% of the gas in oxygen can only be believed by morons. :rolleyes:
 
They don't need moronic Brits and their armchair expertise either, wanker.

It's weird that you think ppl don't realize that these devastating fires are mainly caused by human activities, including illegal activities. Do you think that you're privy to some sekrit inside info or something? The same was true of most all the California (and other western states) wildfires as well -- caused by human activity. What makes them worse now than in previous decades? Heat, drought, climate change. Deny all you like, our dear simpleton nutter from across the pond. The rest of us will be over here in the 21st century, trying to do what we can to help.

Hey you retarded climate alarmists! Did you know close to 200 people were arrested for arson for lighting the fires you are blaming on climate change
Why are you idiots so ignorant?

Evidently they were FORCED to do it, by "climate change".

:facepalm:

If the stuff wasn't tinder-dry they couldn't light it, you thick shit!

Analysis shows that claims of ' arson ' are the work of trolls and bots. Just fancy that.

Australia fires: Debunking 'arson emergency' claims
The past week has seen a surge of claims on social media that arson is to blame for most of Australia's massive bushfires.

But these have mostly been based on inaccurate reporting of police figures, as BBC Outside Source's Ros Atkins explains.
