Australia Fires Caused By Global Warming

Alarmists have been quick to blame climate change for the recent horrific fires in Australia.

Australia fires caused by global warming. And yet addressing this reality by reducing emissions will offer little practical help to Australians who must gird themselves against the threat of more fires at least not for the foreseeable future. The Australian bushfires were exacerbated by two factors that have a well-established link to climate change. In Australia there was a huge fire in the province of Western Australia in 1962 which led to a decades-long campaign of intense prescribed burning.

The recent bushfires in Australia were exacerbated not only by global warming but also by other factors. The Insurance Council of Australia said on January 7 that the bushfires have caused at least US485 million 435 million in damage and that number was likely to rise. Global warming is a key factor - but not the only one.

As climate scientist Kevin Trenberth explained in a recent interview with videographer Peter Sinclair global warming directly intensifies wildfires by drying out soil and vegetation creating more fuel to burn farther and faster. Yes Climate Change Did Influence Australias Unprecedented Bushfires. The burning of coal oil and gas is driving up global temperatures leading to hotter Australian conditions.

Australian wildfires were caused by humans not climate change.

Yes there is a link between climate change and the prevalence and severity of fires.

Such an extreme fire season is at least 30 percent more likely because of global warming a new analysis finds. The scientific consensus could not be clearer. Global warming is an aspect of climate change referring to the long-term rise of the planets temperatures.

It is caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere mainly from human activities such as burning fossil fuels deforestation and farming. But the study suggests the figure is likely to be much greater. Wildfires are a feature of life in Australia which is not surprising when you consider that it is the driest inhabited continent in the world.
