Researchers found that climate change increased the chances of Australia experiencing extreme fire weather by at least 30%.

“There is evidence that Australian fire seasons have lengthened and become more intense – and extreme temperatures have played a role in this,” said Sophie Lewis, a climate scientist at the University of New South Wales in Canberra, Australia, and a co-author of the study.

Australia’s 2019-20 wildfire season burned a record 47 million acres, displaced thousands of people and killed at least 34. The fires also razed rare habitats and killed more than a billion animals, researchers said. Scientists looked at the Fire Weather Index – a measure of weather conditions that describes the risk of wildfires – in the areas of southeastern Australia that were most affected by the 2019-20 fires. It compared current conditions to the climate as it was around 1900, using observations and climate models.

Climate change activists increased it by 100% when they intentionally started the fires.

Fake News, 95% of fires are caused by natural events or arson. Forest fires increased when Co2 levels where at their lowest at the start of the 20th Century. Brats started the Aussie fires and high temperatures sustained it. Weather is weather and will always fluctuate.

Investigators found that over 100 people setting intentional fires in reased the chance of extreme fires by 100%

And arson increased it by how much, tell the whole story USAToday, not every thing is Global warming...

The amount of rain falling is still the same as before. 😉

USA today has been on some EXTRA agenda BS lately — laughable 🤡

It is crucially important that we elect members of Congress who understand the climate crisis is here and demands action. Tired of watching my congressman Jim Jordan toe the fossil fuel industry's line? Help me beat him in November. Give at

Yeah right

The fires were started by arsonists.

Now tell us how they started
