Australia’s Fires Were Not Caused By Global Warming

Transcript:

Bryan Fischer here with today’s Life and Liberty Minute. Eco-warriors have been quick to blame Australia’s catastrophic wildfires on global warming. They are wrong. Politicians caused these fires, not the climate. Government decisions have turned big fires into hellish conflagrations. Prescribed burns, which reduce the fuel load for fires, have been outlawed in Australia for decades. As a result, the fuel load in Australia was as at its most dangerous level in thousands of years. Because of prescribed burns, there was very little wildfire activity from 1965 until 1985. But as eco-warriors suppressed the use of prescribed burns, wildfires returned in increasing intensity until the entire country seems to be on fire. Logging and grazing restrictions on public lands also increased the fuel load. Bottom line: in Australia’s wildfires, global warming is not the culprit. Man is.
