Hey Gay! ... there doesn't seem to be a rush from the Greenies to glue themselves to the road where it really matters ... in the bush! ... where they have been responsible for stopping proper fuel reduction and bush management measures for decades ... causing the tinder box conditions that was just waiting for an arsonist or a lightening strike ... it's not complicated, not like Climate Science!!!

He knows that tlaz, just stirring.

Former NSW fire chief Greg Mullins was on tv last night saying that it isn't a lack of will that hazard reduction burns have failed this year, but the lack of windows of opportunity to do it has closed dramatically due to changing climate conditions. He said that he had presided over a number reduction burns that got out of control from either too much fuel from too much rain or more flammable fuel in Winter where it should be the optimal time, due to it being too hot and dry, and that this year has been even more difficult.

Frequent fires are part of California’s natural state. Many of its ecosystems, from the chaparral of Southern California to the northern pine forests, evolved to burn frequently. But since the 1980s, the size and ferocity of the fires that sweep across the state have trended upward: Fifteen of the 20 largest fires in California history have occurred since 2000. And since the 1970s, the amount of area burned in the state has increased by a factor of five.

Climate change’s stamp is evident in many of the fires, scientists say, primarily because hotter air means drier plants, which burn more readily.

Thats this year PT . What about the last ten? What happened to the cleared buffer zones around communities that allow the fire trucks to get in and fight the fire. Homes were lost in this fire because they couldn’t get to them. Probably there was an endangered green tree frog discovered there and it’s habitat couldn’t be destroyed to build a buffer zone. Well they’re all dead now, along with so much native wildlife . And the ones that didn’t die in the fire will starve to death.

Of course it’s the various governments land management that’s the problem. I’ve got numerous family members in various bush fire brigades out there risking their lives today fighting mega fires that if there’d been adequate hazard control done would’ve been much more manageable . Still bad but more manageable. The federal and state governments would be living the idiot Greens for popping up saying exactly the wrong thing and exactly the wrong time as usual and creating a diversion. Honestly the PR of the Greens is so idiotic I’ve often wondered if their spokespeople are secretly in the pay of the Coal industry sent in undercover to make sure everybody hates the environmentalists! It’s like the Greens have taken a course “How to really annoy people and look like a fool”!

We have had the same government for 6 years in NSW What have they done?

Well, if we llistened to you, nothing at all about anything.  But then, what did the previous Gov do either ?

Is been going on since at least the early 90s . The environmentalists make a noise . The government sees how much money they’ll save by not maintaining fire trails and building more or as AS says getting enough heavy equipment in and say ok lets just lock our national parks up and turn them into giant tinder boxes.

I am sure he meant it in a nice way Whale.

Very simple softy. Whether it is fires or cyclones.

Agenda 21 ... bloody conservatives!
