From your link...47 people for discarding a lighted cigarette or match on land....(Not arson) 53 people for failing to comply with a total fire ban...(Not arson)
Arson the deliberate setting of property on fire with criminal intent.
Arsonists stared the fires. Climate change made them spread like they have never spread before.
Climate change is killing people, destroying homes and businesses, and wildlife worldwide. That's an indisputable scientific fact.
So let me get this straight. Arsonists start the fires. Because of global warming, the fires the arsonists set spread.
Before global warming, I guess the arsonists set the fires and said fires spontaneously extinguished? Kinda like magic?
What does “spread like they have never spread before” mean? Every fire I’ve ever seen spreads if there’s fuel. The more fuel there is, the more the fire spreads. It’s not rocket science and certainly not global warming.
It's not good.... As fires continue to rip through Australia, some devastating numbers are emerging: At least 24 people killed. More than 15.6 million acres torched. Over 1,400 homes destroyed. And, according to one biodiversity expert's count, an estimated 1 billion animals killed.

Yes, and the hotter the climate the more violent the fires...Face facts...Climate change is making matters worse....

you're arguing semantics....183 people have been charged..some for starting several fires..so say 200 fires
200 fires is almost all of the fires burning now....even if some of the fires started from embers from another fire
I will guarantee you....if those 183 people had not caused those fires...no one would even be talking about it now...global warming or no global warming
How much global warming was there in 1851 when such fires burned over 5 million hectares?
Were there hurricanes before climate change made them worse? Yes.
Were there wildfires before climate change made them worse? Yes.
Were there floods before climate change made them worse? Yes.
Yes, and the hotter the climate the more violent the fires...Face facts...Climate change is making matters worse....
Thank you for that riveting in depth analysis. Clear as mud. I’ll face facts when you or someone else actually present some.
