The easiest thing in the world to do, is lie.
Once we have lied 'successfully', we can go on and make our contributions to mass destruction and killing and the various usurpations of the world's resources and to its health.
If we resist lying, we can resist mass destruction and killing.
But this we cannot do.
Let's make a deal!

I am an Australian..
For millennia we have had Bushfires, We have even had much worse than the current lot. Australia is designed to burn, A lot of our indigenous trees and grass lands require the seeds to be baked before they will germinate.
The locals (Aboriginals) understood this and used controlled burns to both Harvest fleeing animals for food and to renew the land.
Yes it is bad, I feel for anyone that has lost property or life and I really feel for our Native animals destroyed in the blaze, but and its a big but, This happens every year, without fail.

Thank you, your insight into these fires helps me. (I did somehow feel that necessity is coming into play here, but didnt know exactly in which sense).
That pic up above is still a scary sight.

Yes and no. There's no such thing as man-made global warming. But the Australian govt's political decision to find arsonists... is also saying the fires are man-made !
They're not. There IS natural climate change. Sometimes a bad fire season is just a bad fire season. But overall, taking into account all the phenomena globally over the last couple of decades, the climate/weather IS clearly hitting more and more extremes.
And people sense it, if they don't quite know it. And it's the main reason why they're becoming ever more hysterical about this and everything else.
Think about it; why else would there even be fertile ground on which Gretas could find an audience. Something IS going on, but massive resources are going into propaganda that is meant to calm the masses by convincing them that govts can do something about it.
They can't. They can mitigate some of its effects with smart infrastructural decisions and technologies, but that's the extent of it.

Much better and lot more scientific take on Australia bush-fires from Tony Heller than this ...
