The bbc seem determined and desperate to blame the horrific fires in australia on their global warming agenda and seem very reluctant to mention that over a hundred for people have already been arrested for setting fires. Global warming worsens wildfires by drying vegetation and soil, creating more fuel for fires to spread further and faster. Fuel reduction by prescribed burning must cease because it releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, thus exacerbating global warming and the occurrence of megafires.

There is no doubt climate change must be tackled as an urgent priority but it is equally. The fact is that australia and the world is having far less forest fires. Caused by bad forestry and arson, not global warming.

And without exception, global warming is blamed as the culprit. So much for “global warming” or “climax change” (heh, heh) causing the fires.

The atlantic reported that the scale of australia’s fires far surpasses that of the fires seen in the amazon in 2019 and in california in 2018.

The answer, or at least a big part of it, is not hard to see. In 2019, online platform global forest watch fires (gfw fires) counted over 4.5 million fires worldwide that were larger than one square kilometer. That makes brush fires more likely to occur, and also much worse as well.

Global warming boosted the risk of the hot, dry weather that's likely to cause bushfires by at least 30%, they say. Australia is warming faster than the global average due to climate change, and parts of. Why are we having so many severe wild fires in australia?

But australia isn't the only place which is burning. Australia’s deadly fires have been fuelled by a combination of extreme heat, prolonged drought and strong winds. This is because, since the 1930’s humans have developed effective fire managemen.

Southern australia has seen rapid warming of around 1.5 degrees celsius (2.7 degrees fahrenheit) since 1950, making conditions ripe for devastating fires, he said. Australia’s bushfires and the conditions behind them are alarming and unprecedented, but not unexpected.

Fires can cause “ember storms,” which can lead to additional fires when embers.
