Climate change perspectives from an animal doctor : Comments

By Angela Frimberger, published 4/3/2016

Climate change didn't directly cause the fires, but it set the stage for them to be so catastrophic when they broke out.

With the money you just received for writing this article, Angela, you will never have to treat an animal ever again.

There may or may not be some kind of causative relationship between human-caused climate change and the phenomenon described in this essay.

However it does seem to be the case with the devastating cyclone Winston which was the worst category 5 cyclone recorded in the South Pacific. It was much much more powerful and devastating than the 2010 cyclone Tomas. See for instance the title Fiji Pounded By First Category 5 Storm on Record via The Wunderground website. Which also features observations on other extreme weather phenomenon.

Hmmmm....who to believe?
The author of this well written article - "Angela Frimberger is a biologist and veterinary oncologist. In 2014 she was trained as a Climate Leader by the Climate Reality Project and Australian Conservation Foundation''.

Or - ttbn, Calwest, Hasbeen and Yuyutsu and other non-scientist, would be expert, climate change deniers who populate this forum?

It seems to me that the climate in our world is definitely getting worse, with larger storms, cyclones, rainfall, temperatures than ever before in recorded history. I tend to believe actual records that have been kept about the weather for many years.
I see no reason why these facts aren't believed by people with their ignorant heads in the sand?

Here is the most telling figure. According to the Australian Institute of Criminology about 50% of bushfires are started by Arsonists or suspected to be. Ambient temperature is but one of seven or so other natural factors which also contribute to bushfires. Ask yourself this question...What would the best way to prevent bushfires?, Preventing arson or keeping the temperature from rising?

Considering the much larger effect of arson, it is clear that temperature increase is a trivial contributor to bushfires compared to deliberately lit fires. So Climate change, which is but one factor in temperature increase, is clearly not a significant issue when it comes to bushfires. Money would be better spent on preventing Arson.

Suseonline, it is a well established fact that you are a moron. Go away. You have nothing of value to offer.
