    I trust that you now know that 173 arson arrests were made for all of 2019.

    I'm referring to ALL non-anthropogenic climate change.

    No, but what does that have to do with the fact that that not all climate change is anthropogenic global warming?

    Then why haven't you verified all of your claims, even after I challenged you on it?

    Correct, but how do you know that greenhouse gases exacerbate bushfires?

    Hey, we're not all one thousand years of age and therefore studied Brittonic tribes in school.

    I guess challenging you on not supporting your claims (something that you expect of others) constitutes "trolling" in your mind. Why don't you just KEEP me on ignore? I'm obviously far too difficult for you to deal with so it would certainly make sense.

    No it doesn’t what DOES represent trolling to me is asking the same question over and over again as if expecting a different answer. It is demanding “proof” then dismissing it out of hand without reading it or critiquing the contents,

    At present you have a window, ask questions you wish on areas you want to learn more about and I will answer. Ignoring my responses to repeatedly ask the same questions again and again, well let us just say you will not be answered

    Sorry, what have you provided that I have dismissed "out of hand?" You haven't provided one single scientific source.

    As I said

    This is a small window - keep in mind I owe you NOTHING! Especially I am not your free librarian ready to look up any and everything you demand

    Now what was it you wished debated?

    THIS is trolling! Asking inane questions

    There becomes a line over which one should not step

    Supporting claims is being a librarian? Okay well you're the one that said, "netiquette rules are that if you make a claim then you verify that claim." So according to your standard, aren't you expecting people to be your "free librarian, ready to look up any and everything you demand?"
    Whether or not there is science which connects anthropogenic global warming. Do you have anything?

    Thing is I DID post the research on the correlation between bushfires and climate change - I posted it earlier in the thread

    This lays out the key points well
    https://www.climatecouncil.org.au/not-normal-climate-change-bushfire-web/

    A statement from the Australian Academy of Science on the bushfires

    https://www.science.org.au/news-and...ases/statement-regarding-australian-bushfires
    CSIRO
    https://www.csiro.au/en/Research/Environment/Extreme-Events/Bushfire/Bushfire-research


    Though I suspect the real issue is that you are not asking the right questions

    It's not really about what I think. It's about what the vast majority of the experts in the field know.

    No.
    The meme is based on the fact it is real but but even if it wasn't none of the actions taken will result in anything but a better world.

    Is this why some people say the left can't meme, they just don't understand what the memes are saying?

    Well with the UK now having a Trumpette for PM what is the betting the UK soon starts believing that any who believe we are in a climate emergency are terrorists.

    A few on this site had better watch out!

    It doesn't matter. Global warming is net beneficial and there is nothing politically possible that can be done to significantly reduce global CO2 emissions.

    The vast majority of the experts in the field say something as vague and general as "climate change is caused by humans?" Surely you can't be serious.

    Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, we can’t do anything about stuff that we can’t control. That was easy. Thank you for your question.
