|Sky News host Peta Credlin says "so-called experts" have been forced to admit "climate change isn't the cause of these bushfires" but argues "two decades of climate change activism is making them worse".

"These days, it's hard to think of any problem that the green religion isn't making worse. "The bushfire crisis is just the latest, and currently most obvious example, of how green zealotry is contaminating so many areas of public policy. "Next time there's a flood, that too will be attributed by the activists to climate change.

SkyNews is Murdoch propaganda that only appeals to the angriest and stupidest members of society. PetaCredlin is the worst kind of idiot; the kind that thinks she’s right and others are the problem. auspol2020

Hey there can you ask PetaCredlin what volunteer work she does? AskingForAFriend

Does Peta Credlin actually understand climate science? Which mentor told her that climate science is the enemy of the people? Or is it just the enemy of the businesses that promote fossil fuels?

...

alyxei1 So according to Credlin the amount of heat in the air couldn’t possibly affect bushfire ignition or intensity, but the amount of heat in the argument did. Really, are ALL these RWNJ complete intellectual zombies?

BillDobell We need to revisit our policies in relation to controlled burns and the systematic removal of fuel.There is a conflict between flora and fauna protection,but unfortunately doing nothing is aiding catastrophic fires.

So called skynews still thinks it has credibility. 😂😂😂 pull your heads out, there is still some clean air left to breath.

The only ‘so-called expert’ is this muppet

From tectonic plate movement to asteroid hits to volcanic & ocean current from La Niña to El Niño etc,,man has witnessed major climate events because nature is nature, humans are just a speckle in Earth time.

Amazing!

macsween_prue You clown let's all believe Peta Credlin lol. Much of the science on climate is from sources like NASA and the figures if you are smart enough speak for themselves. Even my own evidence, as a kid I saw one dust storm 1983. Now I see them yearly.

The1984Effect Thankfull PetaCredlin is only a contrarian TV talking head nowadays & no longer in a position to be calling the shots for our Liberal politicians.

I must have missed Peta's peer reviewed research into climate change.....

Large fuel load and methane emissions at Sky News, that needs hazard reduction burns.

Skynews turns the stupid up to 11.

doogsadavis No it's Looneys loose in the community 😡

Aliceh_1936 Peta's wrong though.

🤣😂🤣 Laughable If it wasn’t so serious.

Well it's the politicians that have caused the bushfires with their dumb policies trying to appease greenie and I want to see charges laid. We can't keep letting the government get away with murder and destruction because of their policies.

Decerebrate rigidity.

We remember credlin admission abbott attack on carbon emissions as purely political to get these berks into power. Anything credlin has to say should be viewed with extreme prejudice. Also the only person known to avoid DUI conviction because she was drunk driving accidentally🤮

More absolute BS. It seems whatever sky news reports the opposite is true....

She was the brains behind Abbott. Say no more.

Who are these 'so-called experts ' Peta?

Why is Credlin lying about this? Every expert I've heard reckons that climate change is a large part of the cause of these bushfires.

Of course, its the fault of the Greens, but not sure if they have any power in the Federal or State Govetnments? Not sure how it's thier fault? 🤷‍♂️

Pathetic and shameful.

And Pell is innocent as well. Can't wait for SKY to start with this bile again in 5 4 3....

I’m not sure what is worse - believing it or being paid to say it.

Check out the greens policy on fire management. They changed it the other day to suit after copping a hammering from the public

In Italy people are thinking, meanwhile downunder its blah blah blah accuse deny. hangyourheaddownunder

The news you can’t trust

Evidence free opinion with zero expertise. As usual.

I do hope that Peta will go into Politics, we need Politicians with a backbone.

Really have to ask yourselves how dangerous this sort of propaganda is. Your viewers will be shoveling out the ashes of their lives one day too.

Sky News: Facts by day, comedy at nighttime!

The only one insulting our intelligence is the relevance deprived Peta Credlin. Of course we've always had bushfires. However with the massive improvements in fire fighting technology and expertise, why are fires getting more catastrophic in their intensity and range.

Climate change is the cause of extreme weather all around the world. I don’t think anyone can deny that. But Australia’s stance on climate change has absolutely no direct link to these bushfires. We don’t control the weather above us nor are our emissions significant.

Credlin really is at peak stupid. climatechange isn't per se 'responsible' for fires and drought. It is however responsible for more frequent, more damaging & more deadly conditions. A total misrepresentation of the argument by, not activists, but scientists & real people.

Please explain what's the cause of such catastrophic fires if climate has NO impacts and with the NSW Coalition reducing funding to National Parks Rangers thereby limiting fuel reduction..... Or are there other reasons that ournalists like yourself Peta Credlin have not told us!

Why pay this woman for plagiarising worn out platitudes ?

PEOPLE are making the firs worse. PEOPLE throw cigarette butts out the window. PEOPLE use machinery that let sparks fly, they don't care. PEOPLE are the cause.

This from the woman who on her own caused a change of prime minister and continues to display her total lack of any intelligence

This is perhaps the best evidence of the parallel worlds theory. How did it leak over into ours?

Political partisan diatribes by your employees isn’t news

So, she’s saying in that non experts are claiming there is no relationship between these bushfires and climate change? Ok

So called experts, like ex-fire chiefs? The ones who’ve constantly gone into fires to put them out, bravely putting their lives on the line? What has Credlin done to match that? Absolutely nothing. She’s an absolute stain on our community.

🤦‍♂️

Credlin secures ticket to hell (outback NSW currently) for her role as a ClimateCriminal

With Australia at increasing risk of being burnt, flooded or blown away RupertMurdoch must stop interfering in Australian politics, he must stop the lies of Alt-Right agents like Peta Credlin and Chris Kenny.

Weren't you the one who said repealing the carbon tax was 'retail politics' Peta? Bloody hypocrite

Experts: ClimateChange is making it hotter & dryer, it's making droughts more frequent, longer & stronger; It's creating more fuel, more at-risk areas & fewer windows for hazard reduction (plus the LNP cut funding to fire services). Peta Credlin: It's the Greenies' fault.

vicious, ugly lies.

“Sky News host Peta Credlin” A complete description of Credlin’s qualifications and credibility.

Yes, let’s all ask Peta Credlin about science

judging by the comments this isnt to well for poor peta

What an idiot. No one claimed climate change caused the bush fires, the claim (backed by science) is that it makes them worse and more frequent.

How many Coal shares does Peta Crackhead have?

Hopefully she doesn't drive home again.

nyunggai Oh, burning coal 'MIGHT' increase emissions 😆. Talk about a dangerous 'religion'. It's not the green one we should worry about. 'Again, it's the green religion that says we can't have the cheapest form of baseload power because this might increase Australian emissions...' 🤑💵

Who has been forced to admit climate change isn't the cause if these bushfires? Details Credlin & then don't waffle on about cheap coal for baseload power ffs. Fact is summer periods are getting longer & hotter..& this stupid govt has to plan for it..not just 'thoughts & prayers'

What exactly is a *News Host ?

The same woman who lied about a carbon tax when it wasn’t a tax, bet she had a few “experts” on the pay toll for that too.

Wildlife 😢😢🥺 🐰🐭🐨🐸🐍🕷🦉🐝 BushFires

Chicken Little climate catastrophists cause localized global warming in California, Australia, elsewhere.

She'd be laughable if she weren't so dangerous. What ignorance. How can you concience broadcasting such immoral, unscientific, crap thst disregards the health and well being of everyone Appalling

Credlin's scientific credentials? Proof of even one 'so-called' expert CHANGING their opinion? Any evidence based conclusions at all? Just the words of propaganda approved by the LNP...

A good description of the leftist political biased scientists who make proclomations based on distorted, incorrect and manipulated climate data... 'so-called experts'!

This is why sensible people boycott Foxtel etc.

Idiots

All her dutiful viewers agree!

So what happened to the hole in the OZONE layer ...they scared the shit out of us... to realize at the end that it was a cyclical phenomenon? So much for this bullshit..earth will adapt are not to say that we must reduce pollution!!!!!

Professor petacredlin please provide links to your llatest research publications. Very experienced scientists, fire chiefs and long time local residents disagree with your conclusions.

EXPERT 👇 auspol

What are Credlins qualifications? Being friends with Tony Abbott isn’t a science degree. Not even close.

Yeah but someone doesn't have any kids to worry about. Yeah I went there, don't me. Get fucked.

CateMc3273 That drink driving politically aligned old cow can keep her opinions, I’ll take my facts from scientists.

What good has Credlin ever done?

Credlin is so retarded she doesnt even get the difference between how fires start, and what makes them worse.

If you say so.

So called expert

Australian media for Australians only. Ban foreign ownership. Requisition Sky, outlaw foreign manipulation of Australian politics , ban foreign propaganda outlets.

Oh Peta. I often wonder whether you believe what they tell you to say. Or are you so sold out you just don't care as long as they paycheck rolls in. Pathetic.

PetaCretin strikes again...

LOL you people are absolutely desperate 😂😂😂. The levels of peak stupid by the Sky Late Night Loony shift screechers have hit record high levels.

credlin VS scientists and NASA..... Hmmmmmm who to believe 😂😂😂😂

Because she knows so much better than the scientists. What a flog she is.

Your doing more harm than good peta seriously just grow up 🙄

Too much time spent in the company of the knuckledragger from Warringah. Climate Change activism does NOT make bushfires worse, or increase their number. What an absolutely asinine statement.🤦‍♀️🙄👎👎

SkyNews producing 'news and opinion'

👉Scientists say the NSW mega fires are linked to climate change. Here's why

But zalisteggall said climate change was making it worse?

Fuel build up I tweeted to NSWRFS on 2/11, week later we had a fire ball roar through Wallabi Point !Asked both NPWS and RFS if they were going to burn off before summer ,they said No ,so if they'de burnt off ,we wouldn't have had the catastrophic fire 9/11

No wonder God didn’t, no ever mind

Sky,..while we appreciate your community welfare some of them really need to move over to centrelink now.

Oh Peta, Peta, oh Peta Tony would say !!!🍌🍒👄

She's just using that NRA playbook about smearing and attacking to divert attention from the facts. Pretty disgusting when people are dying. And out country is dying. But you know. Clickbait. Ratings. That's what matters.

What do yo expect from this dumb bimbomhasnt got a receptor between the ears ,another of Ruperts so called experts follow the 11k scientist and you may learn something Credlin.

Show us the receipts or it's BS.

This level of stupid is off the charts

Peta who?

CateMc3273 That is absurd. Increased and prolonged drought conditions produce increased amounts of fuel. Makes fires worse. I believe the heads of the fire authorities and the BOM over Ms Credlin.

News just in Credlin from real people on the ground ... guess the same could be said to you grubs

Lol at the cult.

Did they have a bag of rice to explain climate change again....Your channel is a joke!

These so called experts she was quoting wouldn’t be dean and Murray . So activists have caused drought.. yes opinions you can’t ignore

Which expert said these fires were 'caused' by climate change? They could be deliberately lit by one the PM's Christian fanatics for all we know.

Oh look another half wit from sky news who doesn't understand Climate change! Does sky employ anyone with any brains.... Or is it in sky contracts that you can only employ imbeciles? Facts matter.... Why not use them.

Yes but tell me how is the economy? Are wealthy people still making money? Is the fossil fuel industry safe? Good, because it seems that is all that matters.

Credlin is a far-right propagandist. She should move to the US & work for the corrupt trump...where she could spread her hateful, highly inflammatory, divisive rhetoric ad nauseum. DivisivePropaganda HatefulRhetoric Shameful media.

Unbelievable

Is Credlin an expert though? Didn’t realise she is a scientist

Sky do your job properly. Where are the fires? Where is the proposed High speed train system going. Look to the maps.

ABC is 'out of control and captured by radical left-wingers' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rowan Dean says the ABC is “out of control” after Monday’s Q&A episode “disgracefully advocated for civil insurrection, vigilantism, murder, arson, wanton destruction, vandalism and lawlessness all promoted at taxpayers’ expense”.\n\nThe national broadcaster announced an investigation into the episode, which featured a high-profile feminist talking about murdering rapists, after it received a string of complaints.\n\n“Earlier in the week on Sky I called for Ita Buttrose, managing director David Anderson and the host of Q&A Fran Kelly to be investigated by the federal police for incitement to violence. I stand by that call and I repeat it,” he said.\n\n“As an organisation, the ABC has been wholly captured by radical left-wingers”.\n Absolute crap Shut them down The ABC has been out of control for over a decade, legislation protects the ABC public servants from any government interference.
