Fighting Fake News with REAL,7/1/20; The LNP voice and the Bushfires. Purely a Natural disaster; You can't change what we have done overnight but we can manage better;






Scott Morrison grins while resting a hand on his chin. The back of Peter Dutton's head is visible.

 

Factcheck: Is there really a green conspiracy to stop bushfire hazard reduction? No, but the LNP are happy to spread it.

This Faux Christian Trumpster, Accidental PM has sacrificed the Nation but more so the Common Good. He will lead us to yet another war and not just one against Science but one in the Middle East that can't be won and will cost Australian lives. (ODT)

Key points:

  • Australians' satisfaction with democracy is the lowest it has been since the Dismissal in 1975, a new study suggests
  • Public trust in government is also at an all-time low, according to the study
  • Just over a decade ago, contentment with democracy was at an all-time high

'You are a climate denier': Craig Kelly in car crash TV interview over bushfire crisis




The backbencher was called a 'disgrace' and told to 'wake up' during the combative encounter on British TV that will anger colleagues

The backbencher was called a "disgrace" and told to "wake up" during the combative encounter that threatens to undermine Morrison's efforts to reassure Australians that his government accepts the link between climate change and extreme weather events.

 We need to put some serious thought into what future life will be like under climate change. Perhaps shifting peak holiday season to the cooler months is the place to start. 

Yes, there have been very large fires in the past but they weren't followed up with yet more very large fires a mere 15 years later.
Normally, you'd be expecting a gap of 50 or 100 years. So the ecology is telling us that we are seeing the intervals between the fires shrinking. That is a really big warning sign.
And this increasingly frequent fire activity is completely consistent with what climate modelling was suggesting. The whole system is moving to a world that is hotter, drier, and with more frequent fire activity.
It's what was forecast and it's what is now happening.
