Program: The Great Global Warming Swindle

Don't you love how these self appointed experts comment on anything and everything that makes the headlines. Funny how no matter what happens it is always "climate change causing it"

The facts are that aboriginals lived quite happily for thousands of years in the exact same bush that we now live in fear of. The bush that now exists in Oz is what adapted to the aboriginal way, yet we come along and change that and then wonder why we have a problem.

The arrogance and stupidity of modern man is breathtaking

What a farce, as if you can blame Global Warming on the NSW bushfires, this sham industry is a pox on us all.

Thank you Mr Burns. I am from the mountains and nearly drove into that fire storm last Thursday, as I am not currently staying in the mountains. I have been very upset over the destruction, but thankful that no lives have so far been lost.

I was sickened by Bandt's comments and also today by that ABC news story you quoted. These are not the only incidents, it is as if the ABC are determined to push it. I find it offensive that they would use this disaster to push their propaganda and have to turn the tv off.

When I lived in the mountains, certain unreasonable environmental influences would often interfere with many residents ability to manage their properties appropriately. You may occasionally hear a comment by a resident preparing for the worst that he could have done more to protect his property if he wasn't hampered. It is obvious what he is saying.

The greens may claim to favour preventative burning off in words but in action they and those who are influenced by them actively obstruct this process as well as other preventative measures.

How can GW cause deliberately-lit fires?

Fires require more than just ignition, no fuel no fire, no wind no dangerous fire, etc etc.

If the fire is hard to start or is quickly extinguished through lack of fuel then the ratbags don't get a buzz do they

HA well done Tony, telling it like it is -

Tony Abbott accuses UN official of 'talking through her hat' on climate change

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has dismissed a UN assessment that the New South Wales fires are linked to climate change, accusing a senior UN official of "talking through her hat".

Earlier this week, the executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, Christiana Figueres, said the fires proved the world is "already paying the price of carbon".

She also criticised the Abbott Government's direct action plan to tackle climate change as being potentially "much more expensive" than the carbon pricing scheme that it is moving to dump.

But Mr Abbott argues that "fire is a part of the Australian experience" and not linked to climate change.

"The official in question is talking through her hat," he told 3AW.

"Climate change is real, as I've often said, and we should take strong action against it.

"But these fires are certainly not a function of climate change - they're just a function of life in Australia."

The Prime Minister fought the fires himself last Saturday night with his local Davidson Rural Fire Service (RFS) brigade in the Bilpin area of the Blue Mountains.

"We lit up various back-burns," he said explaining what his work with the RFS involves.

"You get out the drip torch, you light up along a fire trail or a cleared area, you get the fire going then you watch for a while to make sure it's behaving itself, then you wait to get re-tasked."
