' UNPRECEDENTED conditions?'

OH such alsrmism. 'UNPREDENTED'. Of course forget about huge fires in August in the 1950's. Steelie just loves headlines that support the warmist religion narrative no matter how false. Ever thought of getting a job with the lying liberal media? I thought you might of travelled to New York to support the other 20 people with Greta for her protest against coal etc. Problem was it was to cold and wet for the warmist to show up. They needed to stay inside and enjoy the benefits that mining and coal has brought them. You are a joke Steelie.

Dear runner,

Yet again I get to call you out on your bulldust.

What large fire occurred in South East Queensland in August in the 1950s?

There wasn't one was there.

Hasbeen,
From a bloke that has had 50+ years bush fire experience and has held many positions, I think your assessment of the situation in SE Queensland is spot on.

There is only low risk in open grassland as there is little fuel. The danger is almost entirely with people that have a bush block and built a home with minimum disturbance to the natural bush. Everyone should know that if you have bush, sooner or later it will burn when conditions are right for that area. But one cannot fix stupidity. These people are a hazard to themselves and others in their area. Our fire fighters put themselves at risk protecting these idiots from themselves. There is heaps of information and equipment to minimize the fire risk to homes if people care to use it.

Then on top of this we have some climate change nutters that blame fires on their religious bent of global warming, like SR and Opinionated, when people are at fault because they ignore the fact that they reside in a high risk enviroment.

History has shown that the worst fires ever was in 1939, well before some dills came up with global warming. Homes in the bush have always been at risk and made more so with minimal clearing and evacuation

I'm watching these fires with dread.

My son and his family are due to fly out to
Noosa from Melbourne on the 17th September
for a holiday-break.
They've booked their plane tickets and accomodation.
And were really looking forward to this holiday.

I wonder if they'll still be able to go?
My son's looking into the situation today. He hasn't
had a break from work in ages.

On this morning's news - I heard that police are looking
in to teens - who they suspect have contributed to
these fires. I hope they're wrong.

Dear Foxy,

It looks like the entire Sunshine Coast is virtually a disaster area so I think your son might definitely be affected. I haven't been up there for years but from memory I think there was only one way in, one way out of Noosa.

I just saw on ABC news that a major study is showing that 80% of Australians believe they are affected by global warming and its consequential climate change. It's now looking like our right-wing conservative LNP voting GW denialists have been relegated to the minority. But I suppose as usual that news will fall on deaf ears as usual, just as long as it doesn't affect their hip pocket.

Dear Mr Opinion,

Thank You for that information.

I think you're right as far as my son's
trip to Noosa is concerned. Perhaps he
can choose a better alternative this time,
and leave the Sunshine Coast for another
time.
