All these bush fires didn t start because it's dry climate, most are arson or accidental. It is interesting how it directly link to climate change. Fire cannot start out of no where. There was no thunder.
Initially the report on the news is deliberately lit but since then it's all link to climate change.
I am not saying the climate doesn't change, climate always change since millions of years. Nor am I saying if human contribute or not. But what I want is true reporting on the news, not simply use the word climate change every time there is busy fire.
Funny how you don't see bush fire is dry Africa.
From following article:
Mr Mullins said it had been fascinating to hear the language being used around the debate, with critics suggesting climate change didn’t cause bushfires.
“Of course climate change doesn’t cause bushfires. No one suggested it does,” he said.
But he said climate change did cause increased lightning in places like Tasmania, which never used to experience strikes.
Climate change also made fires more likely, made them burn at times of the year that they never did before and made them burn more intensely..."
Former fire chiefs will host their own emergency summit after failing to meet with Prime Minister Scott Morrison and despairing over the lack of leadership as Australia burns.

Also it is challenging to compare fires in Africa to fires in Australia due to the different context.
Africa: multiple nations coming out of (or still in) third world conditions, scattered and poor resources, national jurisdiction issues, etc.
Australia: single nation, first world country, well resourced, single federal jurisdiction, etc.
I suggest we clean up our own figurative backyards, actions and ways of thinking.
