You are just becoming aware that Australia is on fire?

The fires have killed an estimated 480 million animals, with 30% of the Koala population dying from the fires.

In all seriousness this could go on for weeks yet as no rain is expected.

Yes, I have been hearing about this for a few days. Sorry it is happening. Has Australia had fires like this in the past, or is it a new phenomena?

Question for the smart jubbers,
do you think it will work around the world if you turn these vegetation into compost in early Spring ?? instead of waiting to fight fire in hot summer.

Australia has had major bushfires always
Black Thursday (1851)
Red Tuesday (1898)
Black Sunday (1926)
Black Friday (1939)
WWII bushfires (1943–44)
Ash Wednesday (1983)
Linton (1998)
Eastern Victorian alpine (2003)

the earliest on Wikipedia that I saw is 1851 and I think this list is just the big ones, there are loads more and its pretty much an every year thing but smaller-as is huge but not as big as these ones...so in my opinion these people bleating about global warming/ climate change (especially a certain child from Sweden) should actually think of checking history before self promotion!!

Sure Joe.

You keep telling yourself that as the temperature keeps beating all records and the water you haven't sold to corporations continues to dry up.

Toss something on the barbie while you are at it.

 

[Alistair]

If it was burning over New York

Over London

Australian bushfires ( which I was talking about!) have happened since the year dot so you cant blame climate change and, a lot of people actually affected or in the danger zones for this fire and Black Saturday (2009) have said they are worse as the 'green movement' has had too much power which has prevented people from clearing the under-growth, back-burning in winter, even removing fallen trees, etc. Its all well and good to sit in your air-conditioned office in the city making these decisions but the people who know are the ones who live in the bush with knowledge learnt from the Aboriginals

 

[Telstra]

LOL, are the orange colour represent fire or vegetation ?

 

[rareboy]

Why LOL? What is there to laugh out loud about?

Just like California. It was proven that poor forestry management there (due to the Green freaks) was a MAJOR contribution to the fires there too. Also, many of the Australian fires are due to arson.

Though I bet some will still Try to blame the fires on Trump.

the millions of animals dying is heartbreaking---I just saw a pic of endless dead, charred animals that was hard to look at^trump is lowlife garbage he's doing enough to destroy this country and the world--no need to blame these horrible fires on him.
