Australia has been in a drought for the past decade which is caused by the changing climate.
Yes, if you isolate this fire season then the fires themselves will look as no evidence of climate change. But the fact the everything is as dry as fuck when its not supposed to be dry as fuck...
In northern Queensland we have rain forests. The fringes of those rain forests are burning, because they're dry as fuck.

Can you please open your mind?
- mrfusion 7y agoI’m still confused. Nothing else can explain a period of dryness? I feel like it’s convenient to blame global warming without considering other ideas. Please note, I say this as a huge climate change activist. But this feels similar to blaming hurricanes on climate change to me.
- _ph_ 7y agoIt is rarely possible to rule out that "something else" is the cause of a phenomenum. But the connection between rising temperatures and an exceptional dryness is quite obvious. So absent a very strong different explanation for the current dryness, climate change sounds like an important contributor if not the single cause.
- polotics 7y agoWell hurricanes are also made stronger by the fact that CO2 traps more heat in lower layers and thus makes the upper atmosphere colder, leading to a higher differential with lower layers. So there you go, please inform your activism accordingly.
