Well at least 1 good thing came out of it

I have recorded 53 degrees and ok to handle but we didn't have eucalyptus trees to ignite so easily.

Have the bbc mentioned the arsonists or the green decisions to eliminate fire breaks between properties and the bushes ?
|
|
By:
non narrative to say the greens caused this
|
|
By:
BBC dwell on the firefighters and heros,allows them to avoid the greenie compliance in the disaster.
|
|
By:
Well I hope Aussie have learnt to ignore the greens, that country NEEDS firebreaks.
It protects people and animals. It is a country that gets very very hot. I also suspect it has more greenery than when just the aborigines lived there It takes very little to start a fire. The animals suffered terribly, it makes me want to cry. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AUSSIE!!!!! |
|
By:
I have given to an animal charity for this, other can make their own choice if they want to give for people or animals

By:
Aus is very HOT and DRY that is what poses the fire risk

While Australians run out of water.
China/Japan-controlled corporations DAMS RIVERS to grow COTTON on the Southern Hemispheres BIGGEST IRRIGATION PROPERTY. Video "Australian Fires series part 5-AN Australian HOLOCAUST". |

Of course man made pollution is causing climate change, we remove toxic pollutants daily by extraction from our workplaces, cars and homes to protect ourselves from death.
However it goes into the environment and doesn't disappear. As the population of the world grows and contributes to pollution, it's obvious the environment becomes more toxic and effects like climate change are inevitable. How we stop it, I don't know. |
|
By:
In Australia"s case stopping the spraying of toxic heavy metals and unblocking the dams would help somewhat
|
|
By:
OR maybe introducing fire breaks that the greens stopped
as for arsonist - don't mention them it was all caused by climate change 37 degrees average temperature in alice springs EVERY YEAR get it!! |

Would like to see a proper independent scientific fact based investigation as to the causes of the start of fires and the spread, the initial causes need astertained. Recently there was massive fires in Portugal, one big factor was the commercial forresty practices, the mass planting of eucalyptus trees for paper production. Was an accident waiting to happen apparently but again initial causes of the fires seem to be unclear.Probably like many big disasters it's a set of events culminating in a disaster, money and greed always feature near the top imo

wrong trees - it would be hilarious - something belonging to a Monty python sketch - if it wasn't so serious

Like we would ever see a fact based study, this has one aim and they dont care that people die for their agenda.

By:
Moisok- care to provide a link which explains how the Greens have so much power.
Looking at 2019 results, it seems they don't have many seats, the other parties could pass a law ? Couldn't they? How would the greens win the vote when they don't have much representatives at federal level. Are they in power in NSW , Queensland or Victoria? |
|
By:
it is the influence of the greens that forced the change hope this helps

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/nov/12/is-there-really-a-green-conspiracy-to-stop-bushfire-hazard-reduction
Just another conspiracy. |
|
By:
https://greens.org.au/bushfires
The Australian Greens support hazard reduction burns and backburning to reduce the impact of bushfires when guided by the best scientific, ecological and emergency service expertise. |

By:
"A recent expose of the Australian position shows successive Governments destroying the vital South East Australia river systems by deliberately siphoning-off huge volumes of river water and hoarding it in a large number of specially constructed reservoirs.Not for strategic use in irrigating the surrounding countryside in times of drought but to sell-off to the highest bidder-including foreign interests-hugely enriching the vendors".

Bread has asked the one single most important question. Why do we never have a independent unbiased factual and evidence based investigation / enquiry ? If you can answer that honestly to yourself then you are on the way to seeing through so much of this criminality. Caste your mind back to many of the tragedies we have endured through recent history and try to uncover an independent investigation into said event which hasnt been engulfed with the in the interest of national security smokescreens. I have no idea about these fires and that is why i would like to see the fully independent investigation. Not driven by those who may have the most to lose / the most to hide  |

Moisok, once again you have totally failed to provide a link to back up your absurd claim.
The Greens have hardly any seats in national or state parliaments, yet they are somehow responsible for preventing controlled burning of forest. As Charlie's link suggest the Aussie Greens are not even opposed to control burning. Try providing a link Moisok. The "theory " that the greens have so much power that they prevent controlled burning yet not enough power to prevent something they actually care about (burning / mining of coal) is bonkers. No wonder there isn't a link to back up this claim. Hope this helps. |

Terry any link to back up your secret water storage claim?
Are you saying tge Aussies are exporting water overseas? |

"Australias climate fires are fast becoming the biggest fake news scare of 2020.All the worlds stupidest,most annoying,hand wringling,virtue signalling,leftist,luvvies,eco loons,shyster politicians ,second rate activist scientists and other bottom feeders jumping on the bandwagon".
There is no doubt about the dreadful fires but this is about Politics not Climate. |

By:
the greens forced politicians to become woke which led to this disaster
it seems wherever they intefere it goes wrong whose side are they on |

By:
Moisok once again you have totally failed to provide a link to back up your conspiracy theory BS.
So how did these tiny amount of elected Green politicians "FORCE" the Aussie government to ban controlled burning (even though they support controlled burning). Did they use their magic Jedi mind tricks Moisok. Come on provide a link to the story. Seems a bit silly of the Greens they have all this power to control the Aussie government at national & state level yet they still allow mining and burning of coal. Looking forward to reading your link Moisok. |
