Worst spot in our state place called kangaroo island. The wilderness lodge is a five star place that many of you could afford for a weeks getaway basically thousand dollars a night twin share.
Pristine wilderness area etc. Rich and famous hang out there.
Anyway gone had purpose built bunkers in case of fire we used yesterday I believe.

Thinking most who can afford $1000/night are seeing this as confirmation of the impending end of days via CO2

The Australian Prime minister is getting a rough ride from citizens affected by the fires.

Accused of not providing enough support for the for communities affected. And standing by his climate change denial. Describing one of the worst fire seasons ever as normal in Australia. "Missing in action" with his vacation in Hawaii when there is a national emergency. Yikes!

How long will his political career last at this rate? He may soon be a another casualty of the fires.

I talked to a young lady who is visiting from Australia 2 days ago. Her family lost their vacation home on the ocean, another property, and her mom had been stuck in a traffic jam for 9 hours as we spoke.

Oh, and she was complaining that she was cold, had never seen temps below +3 before this visit. Puts our weather woes in perspective.

And Chuck, have some respect, leave the politics and the agenda alone while people are still fighting for their lives and livelihoods.

Thats all he knows
No compassion or empathy
Just his agenda

[chuckChuck]

World wide there are always people fighting for their lives and livelihoods because of many causes.

Canada has had some of those devastating events.

Those affected deserve our support and empathy.

What politicians say and do is not off the table for discussion.

You want to me shut up because you disagree with me, not because what I said isn't relevant to the discussion about the devastation in Australia.

[chuckChuck]

And you guys don't have an agenda or a certain view of the world! Yeah right! LMAO!

[flea beetle]

How exactly is a fire climate change? There have been fires every year somewhere in the world. Just saying.

[chuckChuck]

Who said that?

In a warming world with more extreme events of hot and dry weather, scientists are saying that fires seasons will be longer and potentially more severe.

But since many posters don't believe in science not much reason to discuss the obvious.

Canada’s scientists conclude that human-induced climate change had a strong impact on forest fires in British Columbia

From: Environment and Climate Change Canada
News release

January 8, 2019 – Gatineau, Quebec

Environment and Climate Change Canada scientists recently completed a study on the influence of human-induced climate change on British Columbia’s 2017 wildfire season. Published in Earth’s Future, the study found that human influences on the climate played a major role in the extreme 2017 wildfire season and substantially increased the risk of wildfires. The area burned was seven to eleven times larger than would have been expected without human influences on the climate.

The study, led by research scientists from Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium at the University of Victoria, used climate simulations to compare two scenarios: one with realistic amounts of human influence on the climate and one with minimal human influence. Researchers determined that the extreme summer temperatures during the 2017 British Columbia forest fire season were made over twenty times more likely by human-induced climate change. Extreme high temperatures combined with dry conditions increase the likelihood of wildfire ignition and spread.

Through their research, the scientists also concluded that human influences on climate change leading to extreme forest fires is a trend that is likely to intensify in the future, without further action.

The extreme 2017 forest fire season in British Columbia caused 65,000 people to be displaced from their homes, and millions were exposed to smoke-filled air harmful to human health. The 1.2 million hectares burned in 2017 set a record—only to be surpassed in 2018.

sure doesn't stop you from discussing it every time you come on here though
why don't you talk about farming, grain prices , machinery purchases , **** , anything about agriculture would be welcome

[blackpowder]

I apologise, I started it I guess.
Happily, I can't read a word he says.

Mallee. How quickly will that brush grow back???
