I’ve had a number of messages saying that the media is ignoring arson as a major cause of the Australia bushfire crisis. Well, we looked at it today. Arson is not a major part of why these fires are so widespread and so severe. Here’s why. Produced @courtbembridge.pic.twitter.com/P16nCD1Bli

      Thank you for this incredibly important tweet and piece. It is available on YouTube? There has been a tsunami of this climate change denial and this would help inform people who otherwise believe that nonsense.

      Ros, this is our #Bolsonaro This is to undermine National Parks so that they are “opened up” or delisted for logging, cattle, shooting, 4WD etc Our wildlife is systematically being eradicated.

      For 'balance' see @Joe_Hildebrand 1 Bushfires are started more by arson than any other cause. 2 Drought & climate change makes them more severe. 3 Chances to mitigate both have been sabotaged by the hard left & hard right. 4 All that matters now is firefighting &and recovery.

      FGS - That is not "balance" - it's misinformation. Unlike flunkies like Hildebrand expressing their "opinions", the BBC actually research & report objectively. Accept it.

      Through friends and family in Oz I understand environmentalists and the government have caused some of these fires by banning properly managed fire breaks in the winter and reducing their width to save wildlife. Ironic that millions of animals have now perished.pic.twitter.com/GmnXeXH7s4

      There is no green legislation preventing Hazard reduction burns (HRB). It's another 🐎💩 argument. This last winter it has been: too hot Too wet Too dry Too windy HRB only works for up to 2 years & then makes the risk worse for 10 years. It's also ineffective beyond 500 metres

      Please run this clip @abcnews & @SBSNews: it succinctly counters the misinformation being spread here.
