Although fires are natural in Australia, they’re now occurring at an unprecedented intensity. Already Over 20% of Australia’s forests have burned during the bushfires. With 25 million people in Australia, no one really knows the real cause and there’s always someone or something we need to blame. Who?
As some would know, Scott Morrison vanished from his post as the prime minister to voyage away to Hawaii whistle Australia was in a hot crisis. The reason for these unsupervised fires is because Scott Morrison needs to have family time, he pins his holiday decision on his family. (If you want an apology, it’s down below but only if it makes you sleep better). He has also admitted to climate change being the root for the fires, what do you think?
“I deeply regret any offence caused to any of the many Australians affected by the terrible bushfires by my taking leave with family at this time,”
Scott Morrison, the prime minister of Australia
If Climate change was a person, they’d be hated so much if the origin of the fire was due to climate. Climate helps fires grow more persistent and more fierce and the more severe weather scheme and higher temperatures build up, the risk of bushfires and permit them to spread faster and wider. We augment climate change by ignoring it so you can help by doing the little things.
“We find it very difficult in general to attribute climate change impacts to a specific event, particularly while the event is running,”
Dr Richard Thornton, chief executive of the Bushfires & Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre.
Arson is a possibility but it could be fake news that is being spread by climate change deniers in Australia. BUT note that some were charged for deliberately lighting a fire during the current fire but they aren’t the beginning for this ongoing burst of flames.
“I can confidently say the majority of the larger fires we have been dealing with have been a result of fires coming out of remote areas as a result of dry lightning storms.”
A New South Wales Rural Fire Service representative
“There is currently no intelligence to indicate that the fires in East Gippsland and the North-East [the worst fires in the state] have been caused by arson or any suspicious behaviour.”

Arsonists aren’t responsible for many this season. Only about 1 percent of the land burnt in NSW this bushfire season can be officially attributed to arson, and it is even less in Victoria
