Misopinionated,

Or just reduce the fuel load in fire-prone areas ?

<<As far as ScoMO calling for prayer I am not so sure about. We have many of the warmist earth-worshippers who think the 'sin' of burning coal has brought about these fires. 'Mother earth' is angry. Just ask Greta.>>

That's not God's view. Who sends the rain? We can't invent it. ScoMo told SBS News on 24 February 2019: '"I can't make it rain but we're working closely with the local community to ensure the right supports are in place and that we have the water infrastructure needed for the future," Mr Morrison said in a statement', http://www.sbs.com.au/news/i-can-t-make-it-rain-morrison-s-31-million-drought-relief-package-for-farmers. I am left hanging: ScoMo - the Christian - please tell us who CAN make it rain in His time.

On 22 April 2007, The Sydney Morning Herald, had a headline, 'Pray for rain, urges Howard', http://www.smh.com.au/national/pray-for-rain-urges-howard-20070422-gdpyx1.html

That was in the midst of a drought where 'hard-hit agricultural regions face zero water allocations due to drought'.

We are in a worse drought situation now. When, oh when, will Scott Morrison call the people of Australia to prayer? I long to see the heading in the ABC, Sydney Morning Herald, and Courier-Mail: 'ScoMo has woken up: Only God sends rain'. We must pray for God's intervention'. Then he explains, '[God] causes his sun to shine on evil people and good people. He sends rain on those who do right and those who don’t' (Matt 5:45), http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt+5%3A45&version=NIRV

yes, i think more fires will occur in the drier years to come as a result of global warming.

i think this was predicted by many.

more fires will occur in the drier years to come
Chris lewis,
I'm more inclined to think that fires in future could be much less destructive if the "experts" were moved aside & the sensible people put in charge of annual cold burning.
Wood fuel could be collected & burnt in power stations which would neutralise the effect of smoke affect. A whole new industry could be established bey keeping the fires under control !

individual,

if more fires do occur, as predicted, there is no doubt that new approaches and industries will emerge.

Mr Opinion, the allegedly record hot and dry conditions are not what has created the bush fires of this season, nor have they solely created the conditions conducive to the fires. The marginally different climate conditions have been within acknowledged seasonal variations.
As I've said previously, an increase in average temperatures of one degree or less, does not cause an acceleration of evaporation from the flora, nor does that cause spontaneous combustion of either the accumulated dead vegetation or the aromatic eucalyptus oils.
The present global reactions are not a true reflection of the facts of why there are a large number of bushfires burning in this country.
No appeals from the Australian head of Government to the heads of any other country will make any difference to their policies or actions on GHG's or their industries.
The Australian Prime Minister may have appeared to have changed his opinion on the causes of the bushfires and AGW, but that is not in response to any scientific facts but as a measure to subdue the hysterical baying mobs who are attempting to pervert democracy and science.
