.Greg_Mullins has told tomwconnell that climate change is a “national emergency” that is “driving natural disasters like the current catastrophic bushfires'

Climate change is a “national emergency” that is “driving natural disasters like the current catastrophic bushfires,” according to former NSW fire chief Greg Mullins.

Mr Mullins told Sky News he is urging the government to hold national summit with the RFS, the military and others in order to come up with plans to combat climate change, which he argues is making bushfires “start earlier…and burn more intensely".

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Arson = climate change.

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Sky News should ask EVERY climate activist they interview this question ... please name all the CORRECT Catastrophic Global warming predictions from the climate scientists in the last 60 years ..... it’ll be like Anzac Day .. a minutes silence . Go on I dare you !!

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Ask little Tommy Connell to explain this ? Is this why the socialists had to change their brand from “ catastrophic global warming “ to “ climate change “ ?

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Ask Tom Connell to list every CORRECT catastrophic global warming prediction from the climate scientists in the last 60 years ? It will take him a nano second if that . Another little socialist has infiltrated Sky .

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Stop with the outrage come up with something to generate power instead of coal and everyone will embrace it come up with a solution instead of telling everyone it’s real yet do nothing

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Instead of organising a day off for students to protest climent change, organise students to take a day off, go through their cupboards and draws, take out clothes, blankets, toys, meet at the steps of parliament where the items will be collected and trucked up north? itsneeded

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell It's not global warming, climate change, extreme weather events or climate emergency. It's arson everybody.

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell And what is he doing about China?

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Blah blah,blah.

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Quick, give me all your money and I'll make it rain. The end of the world is nigh. This routine never gets old does it. Just replace the travelling caravan with big mouths.

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Maybe Greg should consider asking for a summit about increasing hazard reduction burning and water stocks to fight bushfires instead. What would Greg think about Electric fire trucks and water planes & if there’s such an emergency why aren’t they purchasing them 😂 🤔

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Here is 23 FORMER FIRE CHEIFS WITH DECADES OF EXPERIENCE saying they warned the LNP and Coalition governments about the impending fire disasters we will see increasingly over summer..while the LNP CUT 100 hazard reduction rangers jobs in its ignorant

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell If that's his belief tell him to take his case to China and India and try and convince them to stop polluting the world ...................... and best of British luck to him !

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Did climate change cause the 1967 tas bushfires.

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Maybe he can tell us exactly when bushfires stopped being a natural phenomenon & started being a by-product of climate change. Was it after Black Saturday, the Canberra fires, Ash Wednesday, Black Friday? No-one seems to be able to answer this question.

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell This is the first bushfire I can remember.

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell No, it’s not

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Thanks Greg for standing up on this We appreciate it.

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Why didn’t Mullins tell first Australian this a 1000 years ago?

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell No arsonists are driving these bushfires

Greg_Mullins tomwconnell Another expert for the brain dead RWNJ flat earthers to ignore...

Lack of fire reduction burn offs 'clearly an issue in NSW' | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian columnist Gerard Henderson says a lack of fire reduction burn offs “clearly seems to be an issue in New South Wales,' as fires continue to ravage the state.\n\n“We know what a problem fuel build-up causes and there hasn’t been as much fuel reduction in recent years as there had been in previous years,” Mr Henderson told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. \n\nMr Henderson said in the past, “often opposition [came] from Green groups who don’t particularly like burn offs and fire reductions in the cooler months,' and that this may be one contributing factor to increased fire fuel in the nation. \n\nFuel is live and dead vegetation, including twigs, leaves and bark, that accumulates over time.\n\nMr Henderson said the issue of fire fuel loads and hazard reduction burn offs in the nation 'certainly should be discussed'. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Right wing government has slashed funding to National Parks meaning fire risks aren't as managed as they were. Try finding a park ranger now they are selling fridge magnets to Asian tourists in the gift shop in national parks, it's a right wing mess and putting lives at risk. I agree that fire reduction strategies are not correct. Much like water management and power management and age care management and banking and healthcare... after 8 years of federal government you think they could get something right How about Gerard presents some credible evidence of his piss poor half arsed journo murdocratic postion? journalism
