Australian bushfires

“I’ve been listening to your podcast for many months and find them enjoyable, interesting and informative however on the bushfires you obviously had an agenda. I didn’t hear a single fire expert and by expert I mean a frontline fire fighter who has seen it all over the years. Perhaps someone like former PM Tony Abbott who has been a volunteer bushfire fighter for decades. You would have had his number.
Where to begin...
First why you would cite the opinions of “megastars” like Lizzo or Cate Blanchette betrays the shallow, narrow and infantile overview that was to follow.
Then cite Michael Mann as an expert. This would be the same Michael Mann whose only claim to fame is the infamous, totally fraudulent Hockey Stick graph. Even the IPCC disowned it.
Your totally unbalanced report on the bushfires failed to mention that Australia has had worse fires and higher temperatures in our history that precede the recent ACME, catch all climate change meme, extending as far back as the 19th century and in the huge fires and soaring temperatures of 1939.
Although the Australian Bureau of Meteorology tries to photo shop them out of existence via homogenisation they live. The internet never forgets. The fires are described as unprecedented (they’re not) and catastrophic (they are) but the official category of “catastrophic” as a description has only been around since 2009.
The other crucial factor you fail to mention is that the intensity of the fires this time around is due to decades of neglect by leaving national parks mismanaged, (because of Green ideology), under managed or simply not managed at all.
Hazard reduction burns to reduce the fuel load on the forest floor used to be a feature in the cooler months but after decades of neglect, driven by environmental ideologues, this has built up and was indeed a tinderbox just waiting for a match to trigger the conflagration.
In addition in NSW, national parks have almost doubled in size without a similar increase in resources to manage them.
The ideologues protest the slower, controlled cool hazard reduction burns for fear of destruction of the animal habitat. So, now instead of a cool burn we get a conflagration and the entire habitat is destroyed.
An idealogical masterstroke.
Climate change may be responsible for a lot of things but the recent bushfires are not one of them.”

“What about asking the US why they are blacklisted- called balanced reporting. China is run by a dictator who cannot be replaced and has ultimate power. What about IP stolen from the US and just about everywhere else? China’s human rights issues were completely ignored and are very relevant. Nice...”Read full review »
