"There are indeed (who might say Nay) gloomy & hypochondriac minds, inhabitants of diseased bodies, disgusted with the present, & despairing of the future; always counting that the worst will happen, because it may happen. To these I say How much pain have cost us the evils which have never happened". (Thomas Jefferson)

Mr Opinion, putting your statement in capitals does not suddenly change the facts of the situation.
As you must recognise, there are many factors involved in "climate change" and the increased levels of Carbon Dioxide are only a small player in the big picture.
It has been explained how a relatively small increase in average atmospheric temperatures has not been a causal factor in the unmitigated growth of vegetation in National Parks, Nature and Forestry Reserves (all directly controlled by the respective State Governments). It has also been explained by groups including the IPCC that there is not a direct link between the bushfires and "climate change".
The ignition of the many fires can also not be linked directly to any real or imagined results of this AGW. The causes are much more boring than that. Humans with flames and unstable dry air being driven by a quick moving front creating lightning.

It'll start raining again. Fires'll be forgotten, till next time when the scrub's even thicker.

Yes Jamo and we will spend millions more on another Royal Commission having totally ignored the outcomes of previous ones outlining Green lunacy.

Hi susanwebb,

What aspects are you studying?

Jay Cee Ess,

The climate change we are experiencing and which has created the hot dry conditions in Australia that has produced the catastrophic bushfires of 2019/20 is the result of global warming. The bushfires in Australia this year have made people around the world realise that fact and even died-in-the-wool climate change denialists like Soot 'Beam up me Scotty' Morrison have changed their spots and are now parading themselves as climate change warriors, albeit to protect their political scalps.

There are many probable causes of the global warming that could drive climate change. It might be anything from volcanic eruptions to solar spots to the Milankovitch cycles but we cannot take action against these things. But there is one probable cause of global warming that we can actually touch and see and can take action against. This is the burning of fossil fuels. By cutting back on the burning of fossil fuels we can reduce global warming and its consequential climate change.

All we need to do is get Soot and his buddies to start pestering the big greenhouse gas emitters, especially China, US, Russia, Japan, EU and India who together account for about 75% of emissions, to stop making Australia a victim of anthropogenic global warming.

Come come Soot, put down that chunk of coal and step up to the plate - you great big CLIMATE CHANGE WARRIOR.
