    Specific to ANY fires of ANY type throughout history. There doesn't appear to be ANY evidence connecting climate change to fire AT ALL!

    You don't think that it gives away your bias when you say that a bunch of news outlets are "right wing" but not ONE SINGLE news outlet is LEFT wing? :roflol:

    Throughout 2019?

    Agreed.

    It was not FAKE news, it was MISREPORTED news. There's a difference. The left wing media does it all the time and I wouldn't refer to those as examples of fake news.

    The only way you cannot see a connection is if world view bias prevents it

    I'm sorry, is there some SCIENCE in any of that which connects climate change to bushfires? You may want to think about the lack of action taken following the last Royal Commission which recommended FAR more back burning than has been carried out in the 9 years since. Green policies have prevented it.

    You mean even though it's mostly non-desert?

    Basic? Why does that stop you? Does it need to be ADVANCED in order to use it to back up your claim?

    from Google
    In September 2013, the incarceration rate of the United States of America was the highest in the world, at 716 per 100,000 of the national population. While the United States represents about 4.4 percent of the world's population, it houses around 22 percent of the world's prisoners.
    Australia -
    Prison population rate (per 100,000 of national population)
    170
    based on an estimated national population of 25.4 million at June 2019 (from Australian Bureau of Statistics figures)

    How does that mean that you can't say that a news outlet is left wing?

    No, it means that I don’t think it is left wing.

    Wait a second, so you wouldn't be able to call an outlet left wing because you are on the left?

    What has Summer and bushfires got to do with the Government? Does our Government also control the weather?
    Why does the Prime Minister have to get on the TV and say how sad he is? If he doesn't say he is sad, why do people get on face book and say what a horrible person he must be because he isn't "sad"?

    I’m getting very confused.
    What you consider left and I consider left are different things and off topic.

    Thanks for doing the leg work. I’ll have to look up studies on how prison sentence lengths may affect recidivism.

    What would you expect to see in terms of connecting evidence? I’ve already provided you with NASA’s work documenting global temperature rise.
    You’re not in the “If it’s not spontaneous combustion, it wasn’t climate change” camp, are you?
