Mayors from Australia's bushfire-ravaged regions are begging the federal government to put people ahead of profit and acknowledge the role of climate change in the disaster.
"Now, it is time to honestly and bravely address one of the major causes of these fires, climate change."Now we need to place the welfare and safety of citizens ahead of profit, and to support those companies offering real solutions." The Hillville bushfire burns out of control behind a memorial cross on the Pacific Highway at Possum brush south of Taree in the Mid North Coast region of NSW.Former Fire and Rescue NSW Commissioner Greg Mullins told a joint press conference Australians were in a"new age of unprecedented bushfire danger".
So what happens when they make the Gov acknowledge climate change...the bushfires will stop, is that right? 🙄 NSWbushfires NSWfires
Do the bed wetters really think if we go along with their extreme views on climate change that this country will not have another bush fire. Wake up people.
What Aussies need to do is get out on the fucking streets, like Koreans, HK, Venezuela, Chile, etc. there's too much complacency. And that will cost dearly.
Yes...but will he?
righttoknow now ask Scobot to emit a pressing emission
Lever the Libs out gently with a pick-handle.
Best of luck.
The only way to get the LNP to do anything about anything is to show them how they and their benefactors can somehow make a quid from it.
and don’t forget the link between fire bugs and climate change!
Morrison will never admit climate change. He doesn't think human beings are responsible for anything. Only God. There's a thought. We could blame God.
these same majors probably want climate emergency, so i guess it would be more agenda driven more than facts
So many climate denying trolls here in this thread.
Self serving Polotics Disgraceful
What, they cannot even sign work orders to get clear up crews out and around Towns to get rid of all the long dry grass. penny pinching instead of duty of care.
It’s only when we talk about acting on climate do some ask,how are you going to pay for it? As though climate inaction doesn’t have a price tag. As though NSW & QLD aren’t on fire As though Venice isn’t suffering the worst floods in 50 years. ScottMorrisonMP is an embarrassment.
Do they have some sort of evidence for the accusation or is it just because the 'science is in'?
'Honestly, not today!' GladysB 'They are Greens voters.' Barnaby_Joyce 'Woke capital city greenies!' M_McCormackMP Where the bloody hell is ScottMorrisonMP ?
Outstanding leadership. All politics is local, let federal politicians beware.
How about a link between arsonists and bushfires, that’s more credible
And arsonists?
How has this become a thing?! It's like trying to plead with a drunk person to hang over the car keys at a party! But this is our government. Why are they so dumb
12 Australian Mayors? Is that all?
Or 16 year olds deliberately lighting them, and a refusal to back burn to prevent the spread of wildfires due to the misguided views of the Green Party.
Thank you Tony Wellington 👏👏👍
And that will do exactly what? Stop fires? Get the councils more duds to squander?
phbarratt What about the link between these fires and arsonists? Or the link between these fires and the lack of water infrastructure in rural Australia?
Give it to em
phbarratt TOO BAD THERE'S NOT ALL LEFTY LUNATIC VIRTUE SIGNALLERS
Are they the same ones abandoning Australia Day?
Perhaps they should sign a question asking where $120m of funding went from fire/emergency services budgets?
Mayors of local councils would be at the bottom of my list of who’s opinions I give a shit about
this is ridiculous- OUR CLIMATE HAS NOT GOT HOTTER!!!!!!! Destructive Green environmental policies and arsonists are the problem!!!!! auspol ScottMorrisonMP
AUSTRALIAFIRES ClimateEmergency
are these the same mayors who don't recognize Australia day ?
12 Greens got together to push the climate hoax
ReclaimAnglesea We need to stop 'pleading' with people who have made it blatantly obvious that profit is more important to them than our lives to have some 'come to Jesus' moment & realize the error of their ways. The FedGov isn't ignorant of the facts, they know exactly what they're doing.
ReclaimAnglesea For what it cost to keep Bilolea family on Xmas Island we could buy 20 Elvis Bombers
sacarlin48 Tokenism, what are all these so called virtue signallers suggesting the LNP does? Be specific now with proportional attainable solutions.
GCobber99 Why do we have to beg or plead with ScottMorrisonMP to do something in the national interest? The LNP are a total failure. FireEmergency ClimateEmergency auspol
SBS Wow, this really brought all the climate-emergency-denying dillbags out of the woodwork!
Really? And the 12 mayors are subject matter experts. Let’s suppose they are right, what do you expect the Government to do ? Make China, India and Indonesia reduce emissions?
First they might want to plead with our government not to meet with foreign fossil fuel owners during our bushfires. Fossil fuel overlords are in Australia interfering in our environmental and climate change policy. auspol nswfires qldfires climateemergency GreenpeaceAP
You mean 12 Australian Labor/Green fckwits don't you?
Any actions to deal with bushfires has a hell of a lot more to do with preparations than its does carbon emissions.
Pleading don't work...time for demanding I think 🤔
Out of this disaster things will change
Umm it's the bloody humans that are starting these fires..sign a statement for government to be hard n non forgiving to those who burn the bush...
I'm making a plea to Australians to put their community hats on!
Pleading? You need to shutdown govt business till they move. Nothing else will save you now. LNP have demonstrates their corruption, vested interests and incompetence. What more do you need to prove action 8s needed right now?!
There’s no link .
There is no scientific link between climate change and extreme weather events or fires. There is also NO scientific evidence that CO2 controls the temperature. This is just another money grab.
It would be great to publish which Majors so we can put pressure on the ones who haven’t yet voiced the same opinion to support them.
climatecouncil How immoral, negligent , with willful blindness, criminal are some corp leaders & politicians acting in response to the threats ClimateChange ClimateCrisis, ExtinctionCrisis pose to human lives Australia Canada USA Is Fox news using POTUS fraudulent usgcrp assessment ?
ScottMorrisonMP could create a ClimateChange Authority which would assist farmers with bonuses for drought resistant crops and penalise water hungry crops, have a hazard reduction plan, look at solar desalination plants, build renewable energy plants... auspol lnpfail
Mayors, councils. Waste of space
Mayors are the new “climate scientists”. Reality, they want federal money durr
AntiAbbottAust These type of stories are like clockwork at poking the denying deniers out from under their rocks.
Not true, there have been horrific fires in Australia since time began.
MSMWatchdog2013 Please report on the devastation this fire has had on our Flaura and Fauna without our natural eco systems we are screwed and no-one is talking about, and again on-one is putting pressure on our Leader for Answers and Policies around all of this
Then why did SBS remove that article in which a leading Climate expert said that linking to bushfires & Climate Change was 'nonsense' 😉😉.
so we have 12 mayors that are so out of touch with the country that they have no idea how much manufacturing jobs that created pollution has been lost
How many of thrse mayors are campaigning for the next election? Do they honestly think the climate change bugs lit the fires?
I would like to know thow many of the fires were lit by people!
Rubbish.
So when the big fires of 1994/95 raged across Sydney & NSW what was the cause then? Climate change? Or was it hot windy weather in the Australian bush that’s adapted to burn and renew?
All we like sheep are going astray !
How about the SBS cover the real cause of the bush fires not climate change but innaction by all levels of government in regards to fuel reduction caused by Green adgendas.
So in other words they don't want to be sued for negligence?
Twelve deluded Mayors
Scummo is never wrong. God told him so. He is incapable of reconsidering his position
