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
Quit with the facts. The fake news alarmists won't be deterred.
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.
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.
In mid-December before the fires started the entire country had a record heat wave.
Record heat waves dry out the vegetation and make it burn a lot easier than before.
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.
How much global warming was there in 1851 when such fires burned over 5 million hectares?
Let's look at part of the famous Australian poem "My Country" written in 1904:
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
Sounds like climate change in 1904. Lol
What do you think the population, and fire fighting equipment was available in 1851...How many fire fighters, helicopters and water bombers were there?
As of today 14,000,000 acres have burned, and there is still at least two months of fire season to go.
By the way 5,000,000 hectares = 12,355,269 acres, so by the time this fire season is over I'll bet the area burned more than doubles the 1851 figure.

Did I forget to mention those 5 million hectares were in just the state of Victoria, but for all of Australia, it was approximately 50 million hectares?
The global warmers will burn down the planet to save it from burning down possibly in the future. Like insurance fraud on a global scale.
