Deer in the Headlights

Trouble is they don't ... had one after black Saturday with recommendations to cut back undergrowth.

What happened?  Nothing

Seriously, the guy is a dill.

The science has been clear since the 1950s - Byram's Fire Equation!

Fuel load is the one thing man can control - yet we rarely do it.

Saying the (non) fire seasons are now much longer and there isn't 'enough time' is BS.

Whether it's green policy, lack of funding or lack of intelligence we have caused the problem ourselves.

Dr Andy Ptman, one of the alrmist cheer leaders on drought and climate change:

“…this may not be what you expect to hear. but as far as the climate scientists know there is no link between climate change and drought.

That may not be what you read in the newspapers and sometimes hear commented, but there is no reason a priori why climate change should made the landscape more arid.

If you look at the Bureau of Meteorology data over the whole of the last one hundred years there’s no trend in data. There is no drying trend.  There’s been a trend in the last twenty years, but there’s been no trend in the last hundred years, and that’s an expression on how variable Australian rainfall climate is.

There are in some regions but not in other regions.

So the fundamental problem we have is that we don’t understand what causes droughts.

Much more interesting, We don’t know what stops a drought. We know it’s rain, but we don’t know what lines up to create drought breaking rains.”
