    Default Australian PM Downplays Climate Change as Cause of Deadly Fires

    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.

    Why isn't the media asking these protestors for their thoughts now?

    It's horrifying. I cannot look at the pics of injured/burned to a crisp animals and land. And those poor ppl stuck on the beach... gods.

    There are but a handful of idiots left who still deny that climate change is occurring, not enough to drown out the sane ppl who must now figure out how we are going to deal with it. Loss of life aside, the insurance companies are going to be hammered when the fires are out and the claims start rolling in. Of course *they* aren't going to swallow the losses. They're going to pass them along to the rest of us. Even if you live far away from a rising body of water or a place where tornadoes roam or fires consume, you're going to pay for the damage.

    So what caused these Aussie wildfires then including the one in 1939 which resulted in 71 deaths? Of course you won't answer and that's to be expected from you. So allow me to answer for you, those fires were caused by eco-loonys worrying more about birds eggs than practicing the hard lessons of history. The Aborigines knew how to use controlled burns to stop wildfires but stupid fools thought they knew better than them.

    It truly does make me laugh when a bunch of ignorant Septics use the wildfires to promote their climate alarmist agenda. The volunteer firefighters who put their lives on the line, know why the fires have been so devastating. They don't need ignorant American armchair critics blathering away spouting bullshit.

    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.

    More bullshit from Joan of Snark. You and the other bullshitters have been rumbled on your constant effing bleating, attempting to tie in every fucking weather event like wildfires, floods, hurricanes etc. with climate change. There is no empirical or statistical evidence to support your fanciful assertions, which are driven by emotion, expediency and craven agitprop.

    So when will the media hold the Greens get feet to the fire? Those bastards have been allowed to get away with murder, quite literally, yet the fucking media just regurgitates climate alarmist horseshit.

    Pardon me, but you have a dollop of stupid on your chin. Might want to wipe that off before you go out in public.
