A northern NSW mayor whose home was severely damaged by a bushfire that killed two people has slammed Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack for his 'insulting' climate change comments

Why isn't he listening to the science?"I can't believe these so-called educated people don't believe science. The reality is that it's happening now. The change has happened. We're not getting rain," she said.e're losing our environment at a rapid pace at the moment. The reason these fires are so volatile is because we are so dry".Carol Sparks has slammed Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack.

Greens MP Adam Bandt took aim at the Government on Saturday, claiming NSW's bushfires were a result of poor climate policy."Thoughts and prayers are not enough, we need science and action too," Mr Bandt told reporters on Monday."When you cuddle coal in Canberra, the rest of the country burns."But Labor Senator Penny Wong refused to get drawn into the war of words, saying the immediate focus should be on the fires.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison on the weekend dodged questions over whether the unprecedented fires were linked to climate change while Ms Berejiklian added a terse"honestly not today" when reporters raised the issue. "There's no doubt that there's extreme weather conditions which have contributed to the fire conditions, conditions we've not seen before," she said.

The Australian government is riddled with religious zealots..... another one of Abbotts idiots .... white male baby boomers .... the worst

Got no IDEA

And nobody asking, how the fires started,

TerriBennet What a fucking insult to all the sensible people who believe the science and who are worried sick about their children and grand-children's future. We need a globally planned economic solution to this. Read the World Socialist Web Site.

So Disgusting. No respect. No empathy. No idea. This is our deputy Prime Minister They should all know better. Climate change is real. My heart and thoughts are with the families who have lost everything and those who have lost family members. 💞

ScoMo has already acknowledged climate change is impacting Australia. Presents an oddly conflicted position for everyone

McCormack needs to resign

What are we talking about? Climat Change is real, but is it man made (AGW)? What do scientists say?

The_Nationals M_McCormackMP I wonder if he realises that the average temperature increasing every year will make bushfires much more frequent and worse? Perhaps it’s because he’s a moron?
