Dear David,

The Natural Conservation Council of NSW had warned
that a global tragedy was unfolding in NSW. That more
than 3 million hectares had burned and thousands of
koalas had died. They made it clear that after losing
so much they needed to be doing all they could to protect
what was left especially to protect the state's old-growth
forests from logging.

Thanks to conservationists the NSW government has dropped
a plan that could have opened up new areas of the
state's protected old-growth forests to logging. This
decision has been called a win for the state's environment
and its threatened wild life after years of habitat loss
and the devastating 2019-20 bushfires.

Dear Hasbeen,

I can't believe that you really think that conservationists
should be jailed and that loggers should be able to continue
devastating our environment and killing our wildlife.

We keep being told to take notice of the science.
Now the science has told us that global warming had nothing to do with the bushfires !
It was all to do with the fuel buildup.

There are just as many useless amongst the scientists as there are in ever section. After all, when was the last time that policies were legislated by blue collar workers ?
Every single decision is made by educated people who act mostly on advise of the educated expert kind.
Anyhow, any loss of a species is sad but it's not really unnatural. It's just that we humans or rather Greens have begun to think we can halt evolution because that's what they want, not because what nature needs or doesn't need.

Foxy real loggers, who produce lumber have a real reason to conserve forests. They want to come back & log the forests after they have regrown. The last thing they want is to destroy millions of acres of forest, & the wildlife it contains with catastrophic fires. That is down to so called conservationists who try to stop fuel reduction burns at every opportunity.

The greatest destruction of forests today is in the US & Europe. This is caused by the greenie hatred of coal, leading to total destruction of huge acreage of forest to feed wood chips in place of coal to electric power stations.

Every action of organisations like Friends of the Earth and the Sierra Club, lead by activists with no understanding of anything, leads to such unanticipated consequences. Yes they are a damn sight more dangerous to nature & wild life than any logger, due to their simplistic emotive approach to every thing they touch.

They have yet to show they have ever thought through their emotive actions to their quite obvious, to any thinking person, conclusions. To call them, idiots is to insult every village idiot who has ever trod the earth.

Bazz,
>Now the science has told us that global warming had nothing to do with the bushfires !
The science has told us no such thing!

Firstly, the bushfires affected some areas that were normally too wet to burn.
Secondly, some fuel reduction burns had been cancelled because of hot weather resulting in two much o a risk of them getting out of control.
Thirdly, the bushfires spread faster and burn more fiercely in hot weather.

The science can't, of course, attribute particular weather events to global warming. But it thoroughly refutes the notion that the results have nothing to do with global warming.

Aiden, you MUST have seen the reports on the enquiry into the bushfires.
They were quite conclusive that AGW had nothing to do with it.
Even the temperatures were higher in past years, back to 19th century.
Other bushfire events were worse than the recent ones.
I just can't believe you missed all that.
