The eastern seaboard has been burning since September. And
Australians are well aware that the bushfires that have since been
gripping the whole continent are unprecedented in their length and
ferocity.
The general public has also made the link between the
catastrophe and the warnings around changing climate conditions
that scientists have been putting out there for decades. These
cautions have reached a crescendo over the last twelve months.
And the people have been rightfully disappointed in PM Scott
Morrison, who has
only just conceded that changing climate patterns caused by
greenhouse gas emissions have played a part in what's
unfolding. That's after vehemently arguing against the point
for as long as he could get away with it.
