Maybe if your ancestors hadn't gone around raping and pillaging the world the world would be a very different place. That's on you woke boy.
Unsurprisingly, you’re wrong. Record drought due to rising temperatures (man made climate change) has caused vegetation to dry out at a far greater rate creating far more combustible vegetation. Eucalypt trees are shedding leaves to try and decrease their water loss adding to the fuel on the ground in huge quantities.
The export of wine and fruits is moving water out of the country, away from it’s natural cycle, never to return.
I’m afraid the early arrival, intensity and size of this years bush fires have everything to do with climate change
:-(

I love it when some someone half the world away tells me about things I've actually experienced like they are the expert on it.
I remember Ash Wednesday you see back in 1983, came very close to my town. We watched atop a lookout at the horizon that was glowing from the fires.
It was actually far more devastating than these current fires. More loss of life, property, livestock etc
Droughts will always happen, as will fires and people will deliberately start them.
That's not saying climate change doesn't occur. But scaremongering people with over the top bullshit to explain naturally occurring things is the bastion of fools.
It's natural changes in climate conditions that play the major role in our droughts and fires. "climate change" in the way you use it plays a far smaller role.

Anyone who doesn't understand that these fires are partly as a result of climate change is either an idiot or more dangerously wilfully pedalling lies about our impact on the planet.
These fires are caused by a combo of poor water management (water being diverted for agri-business) and drought, which IS exacerbated by climate change.
The sooner we ALL get past the vested interests and lobby groups that push the interests of fossil fuels, and get on with solving the problem the better, as we may already have run out of time.

Your reaction comes as no surprise.

I have no ancestors that came from colonising nations.

Just as you're cluelessness on the subject came as no surprise.
So why has this year’s Australian bushfire season been so bad?
Tina Bell, Associate Professor at the University of Sydney, told Express.co.uk: “The main reason that the fire season has started so early and has been so bad to date is because of the drought that much of the north east of Australia has experienced over the past year or so.
I’m sure you know more than an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney, which is the source of my info.
I should have provided the link but something tells me you’d claim to know more than her.
Or indeed the fire officials;
Officials have said the current intensity of the fires has not been seen before on such a scale.
New South Wales Rural Fire Service commissioner, Shane Fitzsimmons, said the state of NSW had faced “the most dangerous bushfire week this nation has ever seen
Here it is anyway, I look forward to you claiming they don’t know as much as you because you watched a fire in 1983

You live in Australia. Unless you are aboriginal, your ancestors colonised Australia.
schmunk
Why oh why oh why?
There certainly appears to be some colon in his ancestry.
Just questioning whether 'Australian,bush fires' are any worse than ordinary Australian bush fires.
Ahh so you are being a grammar pedant. Fair enough.
Not necessarily true. A person could emigrate here and have no direct ancestors who have ever lived here.

Even though you pointed out a very simplistic answer, it'll go over his head.

The major influencer is natural.
Yeah it's ****ing hilarious we witnessed a Bushfire that killed 75 people, 350,000+ livestock and destroy thousands of buildings.
A kid I went to school with lost his father a Policeman in that fire. When they found him sitting in his charred police car they though he was dead until he opened his eyes he was so badly burned.
He lived on for a few more days until he passed.
Imagine being that utter tool who thinks that is "lol" worthy. Such a tosser.
Fair point.
I clearly wasn’t laughing at that aspect. For starters, how could I possibly be laughing at something yesterday that you have only just posted?
I was laughing at you in general. I find you laughable.
