“Blaming the wildfire problem on climate change is a cop-out by fire chiefs who have, and are, presiding over a disastrous period of bushfire and public land mismanagement in Australia,” he said.
“Public money which could have been spent on making communities safer and more bushfire-resilient, will be wasted on projects that will have no bushfire benefits in the foreseeable future.” Mr Kenny said the group had "raised the ire" of some volunteer firefighters since the campaign was launched.

This aged well........
Funny he should realise that . Exactly what sky channel does
Hard to argue against Fire Chiefs on this issue - but good luck.
Chris Kenny has officially hit peak stupid. So now fire chiefs leading on fires is a conspiracy. No wonder no one takes you people seriously. FFS 🙄🙄🙄
Chris Kenny has fought a lot of fires 🔥 he would know
Poor Chris. Not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. Get him to do on the scene reporting at the fire fronts tomorrow Sky. He’s not too frightened?
Everyone says former Lib staffer & candidate is running a political & environmental campaign under the ruse of journalism.
Like that’s bad thing ! That’s what it is 10/10
Well no one else is! Certainly not this govt. Or Sky News. Or any Murdoch media. At least some will be on the right side of history, unlike the ignorant who refuse to listen to the science or the experts. But of course you & your stablemates know better. 🙄
Well, how dare they care about the environment! And even worse, how dare they express opinions contrary to those approved of by the CK - aka ‘The Oracle’. 😱
What’s the bet that these guys will be running as green candidates at the next elections, Local, State & Federal?
Well, having some experts add their input to the narrative can only be a good thing.
Of course they are. They are trying to save the environment, and the climate deniers/coal fondlers of the right have ensured that what should be bipartisan is toxically political with their odious culture wars. It can't be anything but political!
What do you call the person who continually bends over and takes one for the LNP? BackDoorMan
Chris Kenny is a useless bag of hot air
They also believe in other 'outrageous' and 'political' science, like the idea that fire is hot and burns.
Why aren't they actually out fighting fires?
Funny that australian is running exactly the same line. It's almost as if you were connected in some way. For some reason.
Coming from the scientist Kenny.....🤪🤣😜😅
Yeah... but he’s a reporter and he runs a political campaign every time he one air... political reporters are not supposed to be campaigning either.
Just yet more rubbish by Murdoch croonies. Who cares about facts when you work for Murdoch’s extreme right wing propaganda wagons.
Wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. Dogs on the other hand?
No shit. Isn’t that exactly what’s required?
Hey. Ex fire chiefs. How about you stop employing arsonists. Maybe look in your own backyard first.
As usual WOOF is barking up the wrong tree.
Hey Chris, do th journalist thing and stick your head out of the window and see the smoke and fires! Are you doing the Dutch dyck thing, yelling at the people fighting for the Firefighters? Murdochracy
And your point is, Chris K?! Thank Dog SOMEONE’s talking politics and the environment, coz the Fed government is useless at it.
Yes and it’s great. They are absolute legends.
tan123 CO2 traps heat. Global temperature changes from NOAA, 1880 to present climatechange
Has Chris Kenny seen the weather forecast for Melbourne this week!?
What about the fact that they have charged almost 70 people for arson who have deliberately set the bush fires ? The bush fires were not caused by climate change!
Thank you for speaking out on our behalf Greg Mullins...someone has to since the PM won't.
Chris who?
The guy has less people watching him than watching Peppa Pig & as very tenuous association with facts or reality so, really, not gonna take him overly seriously
colinelvy11 yep .... uhmmmm ....so what ?
Good work Greg. Don’t be distracted by idiots. Do the job that others won’t. Australia thanks you for it
CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION .
Or I don't know making statements about changes in fire behaviour on the best available evidence.
I just don't know who or what to believe anymore.
Has any of these “Fire Chiefs” actually held a hose or a rake in a bush fire?
Bloke on the street says Chris Kenny is a bit of a tosser who frequently doesn’t know what he’s talking about. How grand it must be to earn a salary just being an arsehole 🤷♂️
Who cares? “Kenny was Turnbull's chief of staff during the Utegate scandal, resigning when Turnbull subsequently lost the Liberal leadership.”
So? runs a political campaign as the Coalition cheersquad every single day
fido says a lot of shit!! 😉
Chris Kenny seems to be running his own political and environmental campaign.
The most accurate statement I have ever read today is that climate change denialists are as bad as anti vaxxers. I'd also agree that they are worse.
If only they were - I would vote for them in a heartbeat
Well no one else seems to be in charge, good on them. Attacking firies now Sky? Shame
AND you put this nobody's rant on Twitter...cos you can't get anybody to watch him?
And? Kenny thinks everything is normal right now, so I don't think anyone should listen to him on climate.
Totally agree! Why dont they identify themselves as Greta Thunbergs uncles, as they assume they are experts like she does, and peddle greenie bullshit.
Get your facts straight fellas, you're a laughing stock to normal minded people
Chris Kenny ? What the hell would he know? Listen to the experts
Nobody cares what he says. Check the ratings.
Must be quid in it for them!
Another ostrich..
No Christopher the are trying to ensure Australia doesn't go through another horrendous pre Summer fire season. 🙄
Doesn't mean they don't have their facts straight.
Yes it seemed a bit cute!
Poor delusional Chris! Can we be spared his nonsense speech by canceling his show and give everyone an early Christmas present pls
Chris Kenny runs a political campaign everyday as a mouthpiece for the LNP. Good grief.
auspol
Chris Kenny had a call from Rupert last night.
Who cares what Kenny says?
Thankfully some people with brains and expertise are doing so
JaggerMickOZ Well they're half right.
Uh no. They are calling for a summit around how we can handle emergencies like bushfires when climate change is changing the world in which we live and conventional methods are not working. They want to find solutions. What are Chris Kenny and ScottMorrisonMP doing?
Nobody cares what he thinks.
Really? Is climate change political?
They are not .They want this out of touch government to buy more planes to put fire retardant on fires .So ppl don’t lose their houses .But as we know Morrison is not listening .Why he promised a surplus and if he spends ,his miracle will be his personal let down .Grow up .
Arsehole.
At least one is on the left greens climate council
Tell Sky News host Chris Kenny that someone has to show leadership, if the PM is unable then it might as well be them
Why do Sky news even give Chris f****** Kenny airtime...
Fire chiefs know almost nothing about global warming - they know about putting out fires. Does a taxi driver know about building bridges and roads? ' Well if you drive on them your must surely know!!'
Yes if they are they're entitled to a citizens in a democratic society. They're no longer employees.
Gibberer. Wouldn’t know.
Tim Flannery involved say no more, ignore this mob, focus on duh back burning and hazard reduction. Ignore the Turnbulls etc with their money invested in Renewables, simple follow the money lots of lovely tax payer subsidies there, would be nice if these interests were declared.
Kenny is a fuckwit we all know that.
The inanity, to use one of his well worn terms.
Their motives became obvious when a couple of them stated they are seeking to stop the use & export of all fossil fuels. Apparently this will prevent bushfires.
Haven’t a number of these fires been found to have been deliberately lit and some ignited by the operation of machinery? How is this climate related, apart from lack of fire hazard reduction.
Some one has to get the truth out there and get our leaders to be realistic about action ... I would vote for any of these fire chiefs over any liberal or national as they see the need for action unlike Scummo
They need to do something when the PM is AWOL and the country is ruptured
👀👃💥
If such an issue why aren’t the current fire chiefs jumping up and down.
Based on facts in a situation requiring urgent change. Finished it for you.
Really? My goodness Kenny is stupid.
Who cares what that scumbag Kenny craps on about
Apart from getting rid of the ABC and an unhealthy obsession with the greenie left, what sort of campaign is Mr. Kenny running? I suppose whatever his master asks for on any particular day.
Chris Kenny?......Is he still there? auspol
Greg Mullins was he NSW Fire Commissioner for 13.5 years up to 2017. Why didn’t he do something about reducing all the issues regarding climate change and bushfires when he was Commissioner Where is the previous RFS NSW commissioner?
Yes. It’s good isn’t it? Someone with some brains needs to look after the environment. The PM certainly can’t.
Well no shit little Kenny, the light bulb in that little head does work. Of course they're running a political and environmental campaign, because it's an environmental problem that needs political leadership and action...which is blatantly missing from your conservative mob
'Chris Kenny says a group of former fire chiefs calling for climate change action are running a “political and environmental campaign”. Why? What for? What do they have to gain?
Voicing an opinion Kenny doesn’t like is now a “political campaign”. Good on them!
Abuse of position
Chris Kenny is so far up Rupert’s denialist arse he can see the black heart.
Mullins is clearly opening up his campaign for pre-selection or to run as an independent at next election
No shit - they want money to fight fires in a worsening environment. Chris Kenny is a genius to work that out. MorrisonFires
Chris Kenny is a liberal political propagandist hack. These professional experienced fire fighters are simply trying to help and make change. Kenny should go stick his head in the sand like Morrison has.
They should all travel to the places where 'the problem' occurs some of those places being China, India and some others. I suspect they would get locked up when they got there, never to be seen again with any luck
Yeah, it makes a change from SkyNews and 2BG's constant political and pro coal campaign. Change is as good as a holiday. Talking of chiefs and holidays, our PM is recharging so he can get right back into important matters. Advocating for burning more coal, religious freedom 🤣
Yeah funded by a Steggall's Turkey 🦃💲🔥 no less timflannery ClimateEmergency
Kenny is a Liberal suckhole drop kick and blames everything on the ABC
F E E B L E.
Fire Chiefs Put out the frikkin' fires they're releasing Carbon Dioxide into the air. Do your job and stop invoking the 'Climate Change Fairy' Ten years from now The Carbon Con will be a dim memory with you guys saying; 'Nah we didn't buy into the hype' BUT YOU HAVE
OPINION
What's different, Skynews after Dark were running a political campaign for the LNP the last election
Get a new saying?
Be interesting to see how many of these EX fire chiefs have stakes in new renewable energy.....
From Godwin Grech’s bitch, Chris Kenny
K9 Kenny a fool
A lot of meddling ninnies. If you are former anything you keep your mouth shut and let the people currently manage what ever business/ gov dep it is.
Yes indeed... retired fire chiefs will run for the government soon... you journalist idiots. They had a noble working careers saving people and nature, unlike you and those politician criminals.
Of course they are. How canny of them to be able to garner support for their future political aspirations by appearing to be so woke!
Absolutely extremists at thrir manipulating work
Who care’s what Kenny thinks . Surely nobody thinks he knows more than scientists. I heard he never made it to the 3rd grade auspol
Absolutely correct but they are not influencing the electorate.
They are running a PETTY campaign ad that is what they will be remembered for.
Just as well they are, if so. Kenny rarely sees things as they are, so let’s see. If they are on the money, Kenny will return to the attack.
There are a lot of people around, lacking a modicum of commonsense.
🇺🇸 Rupert Murdoch and his many hatchet men, like Kenny, undermine our ability to rebuild regional Australia with sustainable energy infrastructure projects.
why former
Have a talk to he volunteer CFA people down here and they will tell you what they think about lack of burnoffs and the run away fuel loads. I hope you don’t have sensitive ears.
firesnearme morrisonsfires LNPlies LNPfail AUSTRALIANBUSHFIRES
No the Prime Minister is running away
Three cheers for the fire chiefs. No leadership and little action from Morrison on this issue. Good to see someone doing something, anything.
What will Fido do when sky sack him
As if he'd know more than these blokes. How laughable.
Yes, they are!
I wish the ABC would give The Climate Council it's own weekly show and send the likes of Kenny and Bolt into meltdown mode.
Maybe because the government is making no acknowledgement that the country is on fire? But thanks Fox News Australia...
The fire chiefs havE a better knowledge than the the rubbish that Kenny comes up with just a mouth piece for rRupurt,this guy isn’t a journalist bootlace.
Yeah, let's see them show some leadership and change the climate
Well, since they seek to educate,inform, motivate that's exactly the right approach. Nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, so, we live in a DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!! AustraliaBurns AUSTRALIANBUSHFIRES
I tried to read the article but it was lost amongst the click-bait and advertising. Not even a balanced proper article. Was it written by a journalist?
Better they run the climate debate than the rubbish tha Kenny comes up with motevev a journalist
So what political campaign is Kenny on, you all have a political agenda
Tim Flannery said it would never snow in Australia post 2006.
All appointed under lefty labor governments. Far left tossers.
No they are being honest and want to did solutions unlike the government.
Update: Kenny has raised the ire of rational Australians by running yet another clickbait campaign. One frustrated human being said 'He should buy some eyeglasses and hop on a flight to Nauru to see if his vision's improved any..'
They're just trying to stop the whole joint from going up in smoke, you disingenuous fluckwits
... and there just doesn’t seem to be any basis for it... ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Chris Kenny you are right again these retired clowns work for the Greens...
Chris Kenny has never been guilty of running a political campaign. Well, not a successful one anyway...
That's a nice suit, shirt and tie he's wearing...
They are using fear to make themselves and their future job prospects more valuable. A disgrace.
When did Chris have facial plastic surgery? The new look is a definite improvement...
Rather rich coming from a news station that runs it's own political campaigns dressed up as commentary and news
