Climate scientists
have linked the length and intensity of the current bushfire
season – and the extremely dry conditions that have led to it
– to human-caused climate change. According to them, the fire
crisis is all down to the continued mining, burning and exporting
of coal, oil and gas.
So, you have to give credit to how effective the misinformation
campaign those on the right of politics are operating in this
country, as it's led a large portion of the population to
believe that the Greens are somehow behind the unprecedented
bushfire catastrophe.
Our current PM has long been blatantly pushing coal. He turned
up in parliament with a lump of it three years ago, and in
November, he appeared before the Queensland Resources Council and
explained that he'll be passing further laws to
prevent public challenges to coal investment.
