Linking climate change to Australia's bushfires 'is insulting': Kenny | Sky News Australia

Sky News host Chris Kenny says it is “sickening” to observe the “hysterical politics of climate change” permeating into the coverage of Australia’s devastating bushfires. “These fires are terrible, they have taken lives, they have ruined lives,” Mr Kenny said.

Mr Kenny said it “is pretty sickening,” to observe “facts, history and context thrown out the window” in order for a “climate alarmist” narrative to be pushed. Mr Kenny said some of the discussion around climate change and the Australia's devastating bushfires simply, “insults everyone’s intelligence”. “Even if the entire planet turned carbon neutral tomorrow, we would still have summers like this, we would still have fires like this,” Mr Kenny said.

Chris Kenny would make a great hot air balloon! 🎈

Minister Matt Kean is so left and out of his tree. He cannot answer anything honestly. He refutes common sense and Prof. Pitman’s comments. A pathetic MP.

“Now is not the time to talk about it! If we ignore it, it will all blow over!”

You expect to hear loony Green fanatics like Adam Bandt spew climate BS. But it's sad when supposed mainstream leaders like shallow Albo cynically push this crap. It just shows how desperate he is to become relevant.

Well that sure gives it credibility if Chris said it!

It’s “sickening” to have to put up with the brain dead Chris Kenny’s “hysterical ranting of climate change denialism” permeating into the coverage of Australia’s devastating bushfires.

JaggerMickOZ What has happened to those 3 monsters that set the fire and murdered all those poor animals?

Its a land of marsupials for a reason.

Absolute sense from Kenny 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Chris Kenny can't see past his next pay day.

If more journalists had the intelligence and honesty shown by Chris Kenny, the whole man made global warming scam would rapidly disappear. In contrast to Chris, we pay ABC journalists to spruik & promote the climate emergency dishonesty. Be watchful & wary.

But not sickened by inaction on climate for decades being a causative factor in the frequency and severity of the fires? Stop the one minute concentration span approach to journalism and get in the big picture my friends.

Funny that. I find it Hysterical that Qld gets 100% news from MURDOCH and the rest of Oz 67% from MURDOCH. and the C*^T is a Forigner

Climate change is not an overnight solution and needs to see what countries like India and China are doing about it

ClimateRealists One degree of adjusted avwrage emperature increase is the cause of the bushfires? What don't you understand about 57 people being charged with fire related offences this season, and fuel load?

So true, Linking bushfire disasters to climate change is nonsense. Those bedwetting “believers” that do have no understanding how bushfires in Australia actually work.

Kenny is a fuckwit!

We cross live to Chris Kenny. auspol

In the real world: Leading scientists condemn political inaction on climate change as Australia 'literally burns'. AustraliaBurns auspol

And history won’t be kind to Kenny

When I was a kid it was heat wave now to push the agender and scare children it’s called catastrophe. 50 years ago we were warned the earth was going to freez over that narrative didn’t work so now it’s a new con

What relevant qualification does Cris Kenny have, sky news continues to expose themselves as an irrelevant platform for irrelevant opinions and propoganda undermining the integrity of journalism

It’s less insulting than your continual BS denial Chris, your arguments peppered with straw men

It's so odd the vitriol coming out of Sky News Australia against Greta & the environmental issues. What are they so scared of, why the extreme nature of their reporting? Seems very fishy to me because they can't be that stupid.

What’s sickening is an organisation that deliberately hacked a murdered child’s phone is still in business.

ClimateRealists Question: Do you believe in the climate change hoax? Why Theory: STOP BEING FOOLED

ClimateRealists Bushfires natural.occurence or started deliberately not climate change.jeez 🙄

Chris Kenny just one dog

How about some sympathy for Chris Kenny, just have been ignored this weekend so blows his dog whistle

I despise Sky News but he's mostly right. Too many wankers have turned this into a 'you're either with us or against' shitstorm solely for the sake of upvotes/attention. And smoke drunk pollies have cashed in all the way. Even if the argument is right, the hysteria is obscene.

hmm yes well if chris kenny says it, it has to be a valid point. every one needs to go sit in their burned out husk of a home on their drought ravaged land, and quietly choke to death on the smoke while thinking about their hysterics.

What’s really sickening is that climate change has not only been ignored for 100+ years but there are now paid propagandists employed by Rupert Murdoch & Gina Rinehart to spread misinformation which is quickly lapped up & repeated by the most gullible in our society. auspol

Ok boomer

Or they're a result of the cleanAirAct that was passed 50 yrs ago and the results of non burning are now being shown

Know what's sickening? Kenny and all the other morons you have on your Channel.

The insult is Kenny decoupling climate change & the increase in extreme weather events (the drought) & that dry conditions lead to fire.

Chris Kenny is just testerical. And Sky News is so full of compacted shite it died of a blocked bowel years ago. Neither have any credibility.

Thanks Sky. You are always there when I need a laugh.

Normal people capable of empathy would be more sickened by observing the fires.

Minimising & gaslight facts as usual Chris Kenny . Thank God for the ABC , where real journalists work

Well he has never been a fan of the truth.

Yeah not going to look, same dog same bark gets a bit monotonous, woof woof woof.

So everyone except the climate deniers are hysterical?

While bushfires and Chris Kenny leave a trail of destruction, bushfires play an important and needful role in Australia. Chris Kenny on the other hand, is like an amoeba. His existence is toxic.

Chris Kenny & Andrew Bolt have zero credibility with there views on climate change. They are PAID climate change denialists.

Why are we NOT using the RAAF Bombing Fires with water would be good training for them, Win-Win Ask your local MP WHY not use the RAAF? Can the RAAF convert the C-17 Globemaster-C-130 Hercules and the C-27 Spartan into fires fighting planes

Not very bright is he. You wonder to what degree Australia has to bake before deniers admit they were wrong. Probably ok if you work in a nice air conditioned office.

Murdoch Lies !

The problem with leftists is they keep changing the phrasing to fit their narrative to shakedown people for cash. What happened to global warming and back in the 70s it was global cooling ?I remember in the 80s all the buzz was the ozone layer now not a peep from these coconuts

Scientists have recently landed a spacecraft where they intended on a planet 54.6 million km away, whilst orbiting the sun at 86,871 km/h with a rotation of 241 m/s. Think I'm gonna trust them on this climate change stuff Chris.

Care of the UN

but o/c uncle rupe told us his outlets had no climate change deniers 🙄 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

You had me at “Chris Kenny says”

Doesn't really matter much at the moment, which ever way you look at it, we are in deep shit. It's not just the fires, it's the drought as well , now extending right to the east coast.

Wanker.

Not quite as sick as Chris Kenny drawing a paycheck while homeless ppl (with more qualifications than him) in the bush try & outrun fires but wuddaya gonna do?

No, this is sickening:

Chris Kenny is the definition of sickening auspol

Your ‘news’ platform utterly sickens me. You promote the repellent views of your hard-right hosts as if they are established opinion and you offer no balance at all. Back in the sea with the lot of you.

You dont have the right to not be insulted. ...and sure, the bushfires are completely normal. Sydney is usually blanketed in smoke for weeks before bushfire season even starts. Totally normal.

There are literally areas of NSW burning right now that have never been touched by fire in tens of thousands of years. What does Kenny think is the reason for this?

And Chris Kenny is correct.

OPINION

What’s “sickening” is the conspicuous absence of leadership from our AccidentalPM when his donor’s products (coal and gas) do EXACTLY what scientists warned us for decades.

Sickening as in sickening to think Chris Kenny knows nothing about climate science whatsoever and yet pretends his naive opinions have any relevance at all regarding the devastating bushfires... auspol bushfires

All climate deniers are slowly being drowned out by proof we see before our eyes. They will go down in history as the biggest fools that ever lived, who thought the mighty dollar was more important. The climate deniers should all be rounded up and put in camps in the desert.

What is sickening is the way some news outlets and our current government are not doing anything to protect our National Security .. national Security starts not with boat people but with water, power, drought protection , fire reduction policies and plans SCUMO is his new name

Yes it is

Well Chris you have certainly brought out all the bigots on Twitter....

What is insulting is not listen to the science. The Climate Change deniers are the reason it has got to this. Chris Kenny is evil.

not as sickening as that time chris fucked a dog

Oh is he for real. The majority of “ real climate scientists “ have the opposite view to this drip. Well known to back the “ thoughts and prayers LNP brigade “ and fossil fuel industries. Sky is the station for climate change denialists.

Sposin those horseless carriages took some getting used to as well.

Chris Kenny is absolutely right, while you fools listen to scientists, I'll take my chances with the Sky After Dark crew of knowledge, or whatever it is they have

Everything is AOK. Nothing a bit of coal can't fix.

Well he would say that, wouldn’t he!

NOT Linking climate change to Australia's bushfires 'is insulting. Yes arson plays a role in starting them and burn backs can help but the reason these fires are 'unprecedented' is a scientifically proven fact. 👇

Old man yells at dust cloud

The apocalyptic cult, taking advantage of the gullible masses.

That's because he doesn't like being reminded he and is ilk are to blame for the fires. This is the price for so called climate denialism. auspol

WHAT SORT OF A BUBBLE DO YOU LIVE IN CHRIS? Anyone not getting 'hysterical' about this is living in fantasy land! Auspol

He could be wrong? Has he considered that?
