Global Warming

If you are warned by experienced fire chiefs who want to meet to talk about the increased fire risk this season and to provide additional emergency resources in April and you ignore them and don't provide the resources you are negligent in your duties and therefore responsible. You cant escape the stench of the smoke or blood that's been spilled even in a $3000 a night suite in Hawaii,

Those that push the denialist conspiracy that leads to this complacency and negligence are also indirectly complicit.

Amazing he can now purchase some flying tankers and deploy the army reserve (not optimal) despite it not being his 'responsibility'
 
And the Murdoch news rag The Australian still refuses to put the bushfires on the front page despite it being front page news globally.

They are still gaslighting us.
 
Hottest recorded day ever in Sydney today, 48.5C.

Of course that's just the BOM fudging figures and making *smile* up because they are in on the "global conspiracy".

Penrith obviously. Can't believe how much rain has disappeared in the last month.
 
Here's an interesting factoid for those who think it's just a drought and it will rain soon.

Forests promote rainfall. Humidity from trees and plants helps seed passing clouds and encourages rain.

If we continue to deforest either through land clearing or fires (forests will recover over time) then we can expect less rainfall on our already dry continent.

Plus the oxygen trees provide. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release it as oxygen.
It has been said that the Amazon rainforest provides 20% of the planets oxygen, a fact that is doubted by some.

Yep, for sure. But he's gone from ignoring the request earlier this year to saying resources were fine a week ago ( based on what?) to finally realizing how deep in the *smile* we are.

That's pathetic and he needs to be held accountable.

Even worse, they were warned many years ago as part of the Senate enquiry into bushfires in 2010, see: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...c/completed_inquiries/2008-10/bushfires/index and this included a submission from the CSIRO, see: https://www.aph.gov.au/DocumentStore.ashx?id=3d4e5dd5-9374-48e9-b3f4-4e6e96da27f5 (note: links to a pdf file).

We knew this was coming, Australia continues to contribute to this problem with our emissions and by being the world's largest exporter of coal, over 35% of coal exports are from Australia (any claim that this is not our responsibility is contradicted by the credit the coalition government minister, Angus Taylor, attempts to take for LNG exports in his recent diatribe in the Australian, the newspaper that considers the Hanging Rock Race meeting to be more important than huge bushfires). We need to phase this industry out, we have a huge opportunity to be a major exporter of clean energy but we ignore this because of the vested interests of the corporate elite who profit from coal exports and are automating the coal industry so even less jobs.

Action on climate change is decades overdue and now we are paying the price which was predicted.

It is a disgrace and Scott from Marketing is out of his depth.

And as mentioned the Greens are just as complicit for voting against the emission trading scheme the year before the senate enquiry.
