Do Australians Link Fires to Climate Change?

  • Australia is in the midst of the worst bushfire season it has ever had. 29 human lives have been lost, in addition to over one billion animals (not including frogs and insects). Many people are upset with the Australian government for lack of timely action, but not all of them credit global warming as a contributing factor. I decided to chat with some fellow Aussies and get their thoughts on climate change, government and the global response.

      I agree with your comment about it wouldn’t make a difference if Scott Morrison went or stay. The fires would’ve still be burning the government as whole should be blamed they had all the info as well not just one man

    Great video mate. I'm from outside Australia, but this is a good test to see how effective the Murdoch media propaganda apparatus is. And it seems like the generally younger folk know what's going on.

      Because I live in a bush fire zone in the hills of Perth . Most fire have been deliberately lit and offenders caught , they have even been lit by firefighters too .

    My Generation were survivors, this generation have been made victims by there own distortion of truths , there in lies the problem.
    The climate has been changing for thousands of years, its nature! Our impact is pittance to the destruction caused by those that try to change nature.

    • @neddyladdy
      @neddyladdy 3 роки тому +1

      What have they distorted? I am possibly of a similar age to you, a child of the 50s. I am seeing effects of a warming climate, such as the now standard use of artificial snow on the snowfields.. I am nor clever enough to prove climate scientists are in error. Consequently I have no supportable alternative but to accept their work. Your personal contribution is, in all likelihood, a pittance. Bur 7 or 8 billion such pittances have significantly increased the retention of heat of this planet. Your personal contribition would only be 1 poofteenth of 1/2 od /34 o 5/8 of fuck all, but multiple that by several billion over 150 years and you end up in the pile of shit we are now in.

    Just shows how much these young people don't do any research of their own. Temperatures were higher in the 1930's. We are still 4°c cooler than the middle ages. Australian bush is designed by nature to burn. It opens seeds and regenerates new growth. For thousands of years the Aboriginals new this and did their own regular burn offs to stop the leaf litter building up. That huge fire that went from Gippsland , Victoria to Eden NSW was caused by the Green activists who protested and stopped an organised controlled burn back in early spring. Arson was also suspected. Australia is known to be the driest inhabited contenent on the planet. Drought and flood are a natural occurrence here. Our population has grown and more housing is being built surrounded by bush, and no new dams have been built for over 50 years . Its a lack of not understanding your natural eco system. NASA says the average earth temp has not changed in 7 years.

    Maybe if your prime minister wanted to be the prime administrator, maybe he should've not gone to to Hawaii. It makes him look bad. It's like those students only show up on test days. However, your fellow Aussies probably were right that he's only a small part of a bigger solution.
    So Josh, let's say you adopted a new kid from a foreign country and it's so important to you personally as it's a major part of your life. You call your Mom and Dad and find out that they would rather be scuba diving than going to your baby shower. Actually, most of the time, it's the female who conducts baby showers since they are expecting. But times are changing, maybe adoptions are like having a new baby, regardless of bring baby age. In fact, the youngest is usually called the baby of the family.

      Yeah him going to Hawaii wasn’t really the problem, but it probably wasn’t the right move
