    "Extremely unlikely?" Aren't you totally CONVINCED that's it's not arson?

    The only thing that the social media campaign got wrong was that it didn't specify that the arson arrests were for the whole of 2019. At worst, some of it may have specified that the arrests were made during this bushfire season.

    Media coverage. If you're correct that Dems have spent most time on healthcare, then it means that the media has fooled me. So how do you know that it's healthcare?

    Do you think that we can ever get to a temperature which will be net detrimental?

    What do you mean "more water from irrigation?"

    What will not occur for 100 years?

    It also confabulated “charges” with “arrests” did not specify the breadth of those charges and circulated an inaccurate map and tried very hard to shift the argument from climate change to arson

    The oceans are the biggest heat sink, The oceans are heated by the sun. They cover 75% of Earth. They are the largest effect on weather. This is basic.

    Actually, I just learned about 10 more in SA, bringing the total to that troublesome reported figure of "183!" It does seem that, in a simply EXTRAORDINARY coincidence, that the total number of arson arrests Australia-wide, is exactly the same as the number of bushfire related arrests in NSW, which was also reported as 183! Arson arrests are broken down by state here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...eople-arrested-24-charged-starting-fires.html

    A) they were CHARGES NOT arrests and you will be hard put to find a site outside of somewhere like prison planet that states otherwise
    B) many of those charges (and please learn the difference) were for littering in relation to cigarettes
    C) if you read the ABC you would know this
    D) I have already addressed this on this thread as has SallyAlly and I know you are aware of that as I read the response from Montegriffo pointing that out this evening on this thread
    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...climate-change.566538/page-41#post-1071337933


    Asking the SAME questions over and over despite being told what the answer is is a great way to find yourself on the ignore lists of other members

    The truth about the bushfire related charges

    I'm not sure why you think that being charged with a crime means that an arrest doesn't come first.

    No, this is specific to lighting bushfires. You clearly didn't bother looking at the link that I provided. Allow me to bring some of it to you. NOTE: I'm not saying that this data means that arson is the main reason for this bushfire season. I'm just saying that this is the data.

    WTF? What question did I ask in my last post? There was NONE! And I'm not sure why you think that I give a damn if you put me on ignore.

    I have no problem with this article. It doesn't refute the data that I have provided.

    Truth? We surely are having 'climate change'! When has the climate of the Earth NOT changed...?

    And, logically, considering that the human race has swelled in numbers since the earliest beginning of human history, it can be assumed that human beings have affected the climate to some degree.

    But to run around with our eyes bugged-out and our hair on fire, wildly proclaiming that Carbon Dioxide is going to kill us all in twenty years is beyond laughably STOOPID. CO2 makes up a whole, whopping 0.04% of the Earth's atmosphere! :omg: (Doh!)

    Nevertheless, human population factors must be included in any intelligent discussion concerning 'climate change', 'global-warming', or whatever. If nothing else, consider what 7.8 billion human beings are doing to fill the OCEANS with cubic-miles of toxic trash and other garbage!
