Democrats blaming climate change as the primary source of the ongoing Californian wildfires is an “effort to distract” from what is a clear forest management failure, according to environmental policy expert Michael Shellenberger. The Californian wildfires have so far burnt through around three million acres of land, killing 30 people. Mr Shellenberger pointed to a small town ravaged by the fires where 10 people have died, as an example of the bureaucratic failure at the heart of the fires.
“A third of those deaths were in a town that two years ago had requested to selectively thin the forest around the town, and the state government regulators sat on that request for two years,” he said. “The whole town went up in flames. “It confirms for me that the central dynamic here is the accumulation of wood fuel”.
ShellenbergerMD Newscorp blamed the massive 19/20 bushfire season here in Australia on left wing arsonists. Both Qld & NSW authorities have confirmed that less than 1% of land destroyed by fire was through 'human interactions'. Murdoch & his merry band of morons lying again.
ShellenbergerMD Same as here in Australia, all those uneducated unrealistic government greenie loons who think locking up Australia is any manageable solution in the name of saving the environment is so delusional of epic proportions look at their results, intense wildfires never seen before.
ShellenbergerMD RWNJ forest management equals clear and destroy.
ShellenbergerMD The Coalition have no idea of Freedom of Speech, nor care for the plight of Koalas in Australia!! When the TheIPA, The_Nationals, the LiberalAus Party, Cry Freedom Of Speech, they are actively blocking Australian from telling the truth!! koalakiller
ShellenbergerMD And you know Shellenberger’s an environmental expert. Because he said he is.
ShellenbergerMD Same as Australia then...sheet home years of gov’t neglect to climate change. Pathetic.
ShellenbergerMD Ridiculous claims from Democrats that wildfires only caused by climate change. Wrong ! California wildfires caused by bad forest management under liberal governors.
ShellenbergerMD Dew's more like it
MRobertsQLD ShellenbergerMD Now where’s that been done before?🤔
ShellenbergerMD WHAT bullshit! ClimateChange denial is too much to take. Stop the propaganda ! Climate scientists have been collecting data for DECADES.For many it is their life's work. 97% agree the planet is warming & the cause is manmade. Propagandist = ShellenbergerMD Murdoch
ShellenbergerMD And in California the state owns 3% of forests, while the feds own 58%. So is this another Trump failure, or just more shitfuckery from the Fox propaganda network?
ShellenbergerMD Is Sky News advocating for higher taxes? How are we going to pay the thousands of people to 'manage' the forests?
ShellenbergerMD hahahahahaha. Sky News thinks people should rake the forests like Trump says. Hahahahaha. Sky News is a complete joke.
ShellenbergerMD Its the leaves!
ShellenbergerMD just like ALP/Greens did in Australia
ShellenbergerMD It’s a mix of both I think.

AAP handed $5 million in government funding | Sky News AustraliaThe federal government has handed a $5 million lifeline to the Australian Associated Press, saying its survival is critical to media diversity in the regions.\n\nCommunications Minister Paul Fletcher said the funding will allow the company to continue delivering its important news service for communities Australia wide.\n\nThe service faced collapse after News Corp and Nine announced plans to shut it down.\n Dear Australia, please please be open minded here. Govt spending is taxation. They disguise “spending” with word like stimulus, loans, guarantees, lifeline, investment etc. The govt has no money and all that govt spending does is fuel Wealth Inequality. Govt is the PROBLEM. How much?......that was probably some of the bushfire relief money that nobody has seen.
