British TV personalities including Piers Morgan have attacked Aussie politician Craig Kelly
on air during an interview, over Kelly’s claim that dry weather and the
buildup of fuel load is the reason for Australia’s horrific bushfire
season.
The claim by British TV personalities that anthropogenic climate
change is making Australian bushfires worse is pure ignorance, not
supported by the evidence.
MP Craig Kelly is spot on about the lack of long term drought trend. Although he later recanted a little, earlier this year Professor Andy Pitman explained in a lecture in Sydney science can’t tell us what impact climate change will have on Australian droughts, because there is no long term trend.
As for Craig Kelly’s claim about fuel load, I can confirm this by
personal observation. My local area, much of the region along the road
from my hometown to the Queensland state capital Brisbane is a vast
tinderbox of dry, scrubby bush and dry grass growing on the ground
between the trees, overlaid with flammable eucalyptus deadwood ranging
from twigs to fallen tree trunks, all ready to be ignited by the
slightest spark ......
Hardly anybody in Australia dares to clear the bush and trees away
from their houses, an obvious safety precaution in a bushfire area.
People who make their homes or properties safe from fire risk financial ruin
under laws based by urban green politicians, if the government catches
them clearing native vegetation. Nobody, no matter how remote, is safe
from the scourge of potentially lethal government bullying; Aussie state
governments use satellites and AI to target and prosecute people trying to keep their properties safe from bushfires.
I am not personally at risk from bushfire, but I know people in my area who could lose their homes if it all ignites."
