Whatever the merits or not of Global Warming, living among the gum trees is eventually going to lead to disaster.

Roads lined with gum trees and dead wood that it is an offence to remove, lead to people fleeing bushfires being burnt to death.

Note that the Tasman Sea is anomalously warm, coincidentally where the smoke drifted. Did that smoke fertilize the ocean surface, causing it to warm? Has this resulted in the death of all multi-celled marine life as well as a billion people dying of thirst? No drought in New Zealand.

actually plantagenet much more concerned about your ignorance. Green regressive ideology leads to much more death as shown by fires you attribute to your gw religion.

Runner. On this occasion I have to agree with you.
