    Whatever :bored:

    I suppose that bullshit propaganda make work on some naive people.

    Several years ago in Texas the average high temps were 3-4 degrees higher than in Australia but we didn't burn down.....I suppose less nutters live here. Since we haven't been back up to those temperatures, we must be global cooling.

    You see how that works?

    I am saying that the conditions had to be right for the fires to spread like that. The Yellowstone fire was terminated by 1/4 inch of snow. Usually the local fire Brigade well send out a red flag when conditions are right for wildfires and believe me all it takes is one match. But those are usually rare conditions.

    No, the NASA article doesn't even include the word "fire."

    I discusses climate change. Their work is the basis for much of our understanding of the effects man-made changes are having on the planet. It doesn’t take much effort to connect the dots. Are you willing to inform yourself?

    Well since the OP was based on fake news I would think you are not in a position to judge what is “bullshit” and what is not this is particularly evident when your posts display an inability to differentiate between local and global and weather and climate

    Does it mean Europe was also affected by climate change?

    Do you Trumpites run just about everything through your political filter?

    No, I'm not a lefty ... just someone who isn't part of your crowd.

    Easy, ol bower isn't going to like facts applied to common sense. Strange....those nutters are all wearing long sleeves....don't they know it's too hot because of climate change...they may spontaneously combust like the fires they are setting.

    Then maybe you should be extra careful when starting fires. You excusing Australians for torching their own country and killing half of a billion animals is really disgusting. We live in a day and age where you think people would know all of this by now.

    Is that why you all find climate change unbelievable? Because you think it predicts everything spontaneously combusting?

    Maaate!

    Those “charges” (and not as the thread title claims, arrests) were for things like discarding a cigarette around a pissed off tired cop

    It is not just about starting the fires this is about a tinder dry country that is suffering because of changed weather patterns (that means climate)

    Have not read the Thread, but can assure you the OP is garbage. Some fires have been the act of stupid arsonists, some from dry lightning, and one because the Army were idiots. The blokes in the know say that the problem is that because of extended Summers, the opportunities for implementing control measures (burn off etc) are greatly limited. End of story. What we clearly need is much greater resources (like fire bombing aircraft) to snuff the bastards out as soon as they take hold.

    California is beginning to experience similar conditions. Terrible.

    No matter the percentage, the fires are much worse because of the hot, dry, windy conditions.

    Are the dots connected scientifically?

    By "climate nutters" I thought that you meant environmentalists.
