Prime Minister Scott Morrison says hazard reduction burns are a more practical solution to hotter and drier bushfire seasons than cutting carbon emissions auspol

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has declared hazard reduction could be more important than emissions reduction in protecting Australia from increasingly dangerous bushfire seasons.

"Many would argue even more so, because it has a direct practical impact on the safety of a person going into a bushfire season." "We report all the time on what our emissions reductions are, but across the country there is not a national system of reporting to track how hazard reduction is progressing," he said.

He also wants the probe to look at when the federal government is able to step in above state counterparts in natural disasters.

That's why the current PM won't have my family's and my vote in the future. But we will remember him in history as a PM that didn't give a sh!t.

He is a silly bugger and the wrong type of leader to have at this moment in time.

But how can you safely burn when it's always hot and dry ?

He said what

LuanaGoriss I love ScottMorrisonMP

Apologies you’re a much better than average news organisation but ThisIsNotJournalism. This story has one source: the PM. His views are important, but to present them in isolation and unchallenged is to run the talking points and do the governing party’s job for it.

This is like: 'I would I strap myself tighter to my seat while the whole boat is sinking in rough seas'. ... how good is that?

Australia must cut carbon emissions to minimise all the hazards of climate change, not just bushfires. All the weird extreme weather, the rising of sea levels and so on. Keep the gas and the coal in the ground. Do as much as possible to minimise emissions or face extinction.

A puerile self serving position. Effectively the PM wants to change nothing. It’s not an either or thing. There must be: Substantial emissions reduction; Reduced land clearing; Rehabilitation of fire damaged land; Alternative career paths for coal workers; and Hazard reduction.

Surprise surprise of course he does... funded by coal smoko ScottyfromMarketing

I have a property and I am not allowed to clear undergrowth or have burn off to clear an area near houses/sheds. I used to do it and have always been safe. Now it is a huge fine if I manage my own property. Where will the greenies be when my home or storage sheds burn down?

'As important as' - & why not 'in conjunction with'. What an evasive git! THrowing ideas around with consequences which burn people & animals alive. What irresponsibility.

He’s a bigger drongo that I thought possible.

Talk about stating the obvious

He has no idea! The forests did not dry because of undergrowth! They dried through lack of water - you know that stuff your pollie mates Barn & Angus stole for their mates for 🐾! Land clearing adds to the impact of drying landscape! When are you resigning ScottyfromMarketing

Is Scott Morrison a climate scientist? No. Then what he thinks about burns has no weight.

Anything to avoid cutting emissions further. The man who sold his country out to benefit foreign vested interests.

Yes. Lets turn Australia into a complete desert. No fires then aye. Oh......wait.....

ThisIsNotJournalism 👆👆

The hole your digging is getter bigger and bigger

PM listen to the scientists

Head in sand much? Scomomustgo

I call bullshit!!

826Maureen Right on Prime Minister. Lets ensure the governemts dont let the Crazty Green Climate Cult stop necessary fuel clean. It's the one thinsg the firefighters on the groudn are callign out to fic ...aprt from their funding

He really has to go

Coal puppet talk.

Scientist now dipstick?

We expect stupid things to be said by stupid people & Morrison profoundly stupid

Why just repeat his lie? You know it’s a lie.

No they are not you ignoramous. You just can't get anything riht can you? Leave it to the informed, experienced professionals, ning nong.

And where did the CrimeMinister get this knowledge from, maybe Mr Forrest told him, or the IPA told him, or he found it while praying for forgiveness for his incompetence Did the LiarFromTheShire happen to consult the climate scientists before the decision

In other news, the sky is blue.

And ScottMorrisonMP is completely right. 100%.

Does ScottyfromMarketing realise that safe hazard reduction windows have been shrinking.due to ahhhh, climate change?

'The Science Expert speaks '

Of FFS! Any excuse not to tackle climate change. So let's just clear all the bush away, kill all the native animals & concrete everything. Problem solved. No more fires!! ScottyfromMarketing strikes again!!

This idiot doesn’t get it. He must be removed from office as he is failing in his duties to protect Australians.

Ignoramus. Hazard burn = emissions. MORE practical solution = burn everything = no plants animals insects = desertification = no water = no food = no humans = BEST solution.

His mother warned him this would happen if he didn't stop it!

Given ScottyfromMarketing's government seems to be our biggest hazard can we reduce them right out of office? auspol

Gawd help us

Nothing left to burn so I guess that has reduced the chance of fires CrimeMinister ScottyfromMarketing

And how will that stop the loss of millions of tons of Northern Victorian top soil into the Bay and Bass Straight?

Seriously! Who gave him this advice? God? Doesn’t he ever talk to the experts?

Is that really what the science says or did he pray to Mammon for guidance?

Short term thinker and slave to his IPA mining masters ScottyfromMarketing CrimeMinister supporting short term personal gain at the expense of how children and their futures. Spineless, craven, god bothering twat at the head of an organisation of the same.

Morrison is a conniving lying man. He can say what he likes but the truth is in what he refuses to acknowledge & his behaviour. Expect more deceit & twisting of the facts. This is what our coal PM delivers as the country burns.

Sure, but we would have to burn it all to stop it all from burning....

PM said he’d ‘burn for us’ but is this what Mother Earth needs!!!!

Don’t worry Kerrie. I’m working on a ScoMo reduction program!

Can’t he do both? Oh that’s right it’s ScoNo! He’s Scott No idea 😡😡😡 ScottyfromMarketing CrimeMinister AusPol

I mean we’ve just reduced the hazard of an area the size of Belgium. We wait with bated breath the end of bushfires.

I thought burns were happening already?

Sounds pragmatic- we don’t own or control China’s 27% emissions so until they drastically restrict their economy to reduce emissions we’ll have to look at practical, local solutions like back burning, improved land management practices and keeping a tight leash on arsonists

ScottyfromMarketing is trying to convince us that the only consequence of climate is more bushfires. Climate change science predicts increased severity in all natural disasters. It will affect us in myriad ways. Like this bushfire season, hazard reduction is not the solution

WTF is wrong with this PM!

Evil, just evil.

Not dying of cancer is the best method of beating cancer too. That'll save all the chemo and radiation costs yeah?

emm_downunder Let the land owner manage their land

Yes, well, we already do those, and we still had the worst fires in the history of the world, so maybe let's also do the other thing, you useless deadweight.

Woke es doesn’t want that, they want your money.

And he’s right 💁🏼‍♀️

Morrison is not qualified to say this. Australians need to listen to the scientists who have studied weather and climate, not flabby unqualified men in suits.

How good is desperately hoping Australians are morons? We already do responsible hazard reduction burns, except where Coalition spending cuts prevent it. The problem is climate change & it will get worse. With these Oncelers in we won't help prevent it or be ready for it. auspol

auspol ScottyFromMarketting sc CrimeMinister crimeministers LiarFromTheShire ministerforHawaii

The best hazard reduction would be to get a government that chooses science over ideology. Soon.

Ruvly1 This PM has no understanding of fire control or hazard management. There is already a very limited seasonal window in which to conduct HR burns. With an increasingly longer and more intense fire season this window reduces even further. Time, conditions and resources don’t allow.

Who are the “many” Journos- ask questions! Call this stuff out.

How about we cut all the trees and make room for some new mines!

HI! I'm just reading the triggered extinction rebellion nutjob comments below, please carry on... 🍿

🤦‍♂️

If The government was serious about Hazard reduction they'd Remove the CrimeMinister & Bridget Mcsleezy from their party ! auspoI CrimeMinister crimeministers ScottyfromMarketing bridgetMcsleezy

Anything he says it will be used against him, seriously the CC camp needs to get realistic and objective. The ones that deny it have to be willing to accept some changes.

And the problem is?

emm_downunder

Oh my god 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

But we all know that CrimeMinisterMorrison doesn’t know anything about fire fighting and refuses to listen to people who are expert in fire fighting. Instead his principal scientific advisor is a furniture salesman. Why does he even bother opening his mouth.

He is correct. Aus cutting emissions will not alter global temperatures one bit. If climate change is real we need to adapt. Hazard reduction and national park access tracks are vital. As is clearing roadways to facilitate evacuations and create fire breaks.

BS

Why do I feel like the Government could pay billions for a hundred explanations & he still wouldn't get it? 🙄

Why don’t these fuckwits listen? The NSW fire commissioner said last week that hazard reduction is a minor part of the problem and climate change is the major part. Now ScottyfromMarketing thinks he knows better. Why do Libs hate our kids so much?

They have just hooked onto the lowest denominator excuse by shock jocks. It's not climate change, not selling off of rivers, not over grazing and irrigating. Only have to burn off more, by overworked, under resourced fireries in a reduced non fire season

UGH! Cut carbon emissions and use the knowledge from our first Australians. That will get us farther than we got this summer (and it’s still bloody going).

Spot on ScottMorrisonMP, plan fuel reduction burns in the cooler months ahead of fire season is a must plus bring back cattle grazing in the high country and support logging which creates fire breaks after logging.

ScottyfromMarketing the most effective hazard reduction would be to sackscomo

Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; Teach a person to to fish and you feed them for a lifetime... ScottyfromMarketing

The best hazard reduction burn he could do is to set fire to himself and his cabinet. The PM has succeeded in turning a national crisis into an exercise in self preservation.

Correct. And also do nuclear energy, as advocated by Bill Gates and many others. Job done. Move on, no climate change problem.

Just as low tar cigarettes are an effective option to fight lung cancer?

FACT

So NOT what the fire experts said then,,,, okay

Can we actually afford to keep these troglodytes in power?

Well said

We know we have dangerous carbon levels in our atmosphere. We know the oceans are taking in phenomenal levels thermal energy from this. Climate is changing, rapidly. What does a sane leader do? More burning! Release more carbon! What? “ How good is..

climatechange

Hi ScottyfromMarketing. I have my Cayman's account set and ready to go.

The hazard reduction burn is setting scummo on fire, yes?

What’s the basis of his assertion? Which scientist, fire authority, parks mgt authority, environment authority or other relevant expert has said this? How many more people will perish because of the wilful ignorance of ScottMorrisonMP ?

Well, nice knowing you Australia.

CrimeMinister ScottyFromMarketting obviously did not listen to anything the fire chiefs had to say. Insufficient window and manpower for Hazard reduction burns. Acting on ClimateEmergency is the long term cure, while hazard reduction is the short term triage.

It’s hard to hear someone when their head is in the sand nothingtoseehere

Who the fuck is Morrison taking advice from....one of his fellow cult members? Malcolm Tinfoil-Hat Roberts? An arsonist? It’s certainly not an expert, of which he has many to choose from. ScottyfromMarketing is proving over & over how unfit he is to govern our country. dickhead

Erm... When... and how...?

It's not an either/or situation. Mr Morrison is creating a false dichotomy. We need hazard reduction *and* emissions reductions. (No one is against hazard reduction burns, by the way. Not even the loony greens.)

Has he consulted the fire chiefs yet? Did you ask him? Or is this just more from ScottyfromMarketing auspol fruitcakes

And Prime Minister Morrison is 100% correct.

You got his title wrong. Either way though, Scottyfrommarketing is talking through his hat.

And only in seats they can win!!!

Didn't the fire chiefs of the affected states all say they were doing as much hazard burning as they practically could already? With the limiting factors being risk and weather, not policy? How can they do more, and what purpose will 'naming and shaming' possibly serve?

Ain't this creep 'cute' with this ridiculous spin?

ScottyFomMarketing is completely out of touch or brain dead, it is probably both and more. What a disgrace he is, that CrimeMinister. You lot at the LNP are naught but ClimateCriminals corruptandclueless.

Quoting an unqualified CrimeMinister ThisIsNotJournalism

What about flooding, drought, ocean acidification, water shortages and sea level rise?

So what does a real expert say? Surely you cannot keep burning the bush while the climate continues to warm at an in an accelerating rate. You end up with desert.

Scott Morrison is completely right also we have to stop these Evil Criminals Called Arsonists.

And he's right.

Did the CrimeMinister come up with this 'solution' while sitting on his fat useless arse in Hawaii as People burned to death or as a way of deflecting attention from his own cowardice & his failing popularity post mortem? Auspol LNPblameshifters

Good thing bushfires are the only problems amplified by climate change in Australia. drought, dying rivers, dying reef, 50c in metropolitan areas - all fixable by clearing more trees that *checks notes* consume CO2.

ScottMorrisonMP CC makes hotter, dryer conditions. So yes we need more hazard reduction, but we can’t if the conditions are too hot & dry. You need to address both and now. ClimateEmergency

It's also a fantastic solution for sea level rise and food shortages 😣

Talk about brain related injury

Here's an idea — do both.

He’s clearly not going to do anything about climate change is he?

He is a climate change denier, accept it. Abbott is a pest as well! We need new govt

No longer ignorant. It’s provactive, a slap in the face.

Our CrimeMinister may think we are fools be he is the true idiot. This is just more ScottyfromMarketing

LuanaGoriss Morrison's got that one right !

Because he’s such a qualified scientist. bullshitSpinner LiarFromTheShire CrimeMinister

Yes! Because that’s the real reason for the fires. And arson.

What an actual idiot gormless

Moron still doesn't get it.

“Name & shame”? Is he for real? Let’s start by looking at the PMs own office staff...ex coal industry executives, and fossil fuel political donors, not to mention Murdoch!

Scott Morrison is a climatecriminal and his opinion is not based on any expert advice. There is nothing more practical when solving a problem than tackling the cause. Fossil Fuels cause climate change. Emissions reductions slow it. theyknew Garnaut 2008

And we’re surprised by this? He was just working out how to say it...

Evil death cultist Scumo will do nothing to delay apocalypse

No, CrimeMinister or should I say PrimeArsonist, ClimateAction is what's needed in this ClimateEmergency! Not burning more habitat, carbon sinks,water catchments & above all, more CO2 in the atmosphere. You are an incompetent, arrogant ClimateCriminal auspol

Hazard reduction burns are a short term solution. Cutting carbon emissions is long term risk mitigation. Scott Morrison's history indicates he is capable of neither.

Lies, deception, and corruption.

He’s completely clueless and it just goes on and on and on

We need him as PM here in NZ!

Note there’s often been a huge difference in what the Libs say they’ll do & what actually gets done...or not. Yeah, that.

What a $&?“ng idiot we have for a Prime Minister. It’s cheap shot I know, but it sort of sums up my feelings on this Government. No vision, no talent, no leadership, all they are doing is eating our future!!! Let the experts decide, not Scotty from Marketing.

nonbelievers Good on him for speaking common sense.

Is this guy for real?! NO NO NO NO NO! nicdasilva, can you please give ScottyFomMarketing another 🙄? He totally deserves it.

More important in fact the very best solution is burning off on a regular basis.

Apparently this is one of Peta Credlin's bright (NOT) ideas. Vacuous Morrison now mouthing it as excuse for doing nothing serious on climate.

Much more practical.... if we want to get rid of all our troublesome trees and annoying marsupials. The last of those pesky fish on our GBR. No more wombats, numbats and echidnas and kiss goodbye to platypuses, fruit bats and possums. Scottyfrommarketing is a dangerous imbecile.

This is a lie. Lie. Lie. He is a liar. There is no “I’m just a dumb regular bloke” excuse anymore. Scientists, journalists, firefighters, police and everyone is saying the opposite. Our PM is a con artist

LoudermilkPax You are right PM. auspol ClimateChange climate

Definitely, absolutely, positively 100% correct Mr Prime Minister auspol

Anyone surprised?

On a runaway train approaching end of line, instead of applying brakes, PM said passengers are getting better airbags

Hazard reduction burns won’t stop It from getting hotter or drier 🙄

John 11:35

Scott Morrison is right. The Communist LaborGetupGreens are intent in creating forest fires by their deeds and malcontent members, followers & fire starters.

It's time for evidence-based governance.

He clearly has no understanding of the science of climate change. He needs a science tutor.

Idiot 🤨ScottyFromMarketting CrimeMinister

Hasn’t thought that thru properly. Perhaps he needs to get a lesson on what a hotter and drier climate means to risk managing hazard reduction burning. Not a simple solution by any means!

And he is right about that. If Australia cuts anymore carbon dioxide it would make not an iota of difference to the world’s climate!

Of course it is. There’s nothing practical about pointless reductions in carbon emissions.

The responses to posts like this make it very easy to see who I need to block. OUT with all the climate deniers - blockity block!

This is BS and when your don't call it this, ThisIsNotJournalism It's simple. When you simply restate something that has no sound scientific basis, your supporting that claim, even if it is just the headline.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ ScottyfromMarketing CrimeMinister morrisonmustgo

And the PM is 100% correct.

OMG!!! Ahggg... this is unbelievable- why why why can’t we get rid of this man - he is not fit to lead anything let alone a country.

We burn everything and problem solved, no more bush fires.

It’s not practical within the 10 ideal temp & humidity days we have now. Can’t all be done in those days. Address those conditions. Not practical.

We CAN walk & chew gum! ScottyfromMarketing

heyhoscomoyouhavegottogo

Says the bloke who was fired from his last two jobs and scientists make their reports up? WE do not believe you Shep(PM).

HE GETS IT INCREDIBLE.

Who pays the piper calls the tune, pathetic!

NO scomo! But using and working with Indigenous methods of land & water management, phasing out reliance on coal, STOPPING animal agriculture, stopping logging and new developments and cap & better manage human population are the solutions. Watch 2040. Economy+Environment=:)

ScoMo reduction would help.

Sorry the bloke just doesn’t have a clue

SENSIBLE SOLUTION Mr.MORRISON..and include so Called Climate Change..in your Royal Commission.! 'AN ABSOLUTE MUST'..this will help your Government..more people out here DISAGREE with the Extremists Re-Climate Change..(and CRISIS) trying to Scare (indoctrinate) young people..SAD !

They seem to be so incompetent I doubt they could run a chook raffle.

If only we had been doing that.....

ScottyfromMarketing Listen to the fire chiefs. Not the coal industry and your rorting mates.

What a joke

CC had nothing to do with the bushfires! Australia has had bushfires for Millenia! WTHELL UP. THE SUN CONTROLS OUR CLIMATE

So is he committed to give more funding to fire fighters services to achieve this? No ! Right! Plus you can't do fuel hazard reduction when there's drought and heatwave?

He’s not wrong

Remains as irresponsible as he was when he ignored fire chiefs. The man is wilfully ignorant because to address the causes would lose him coal donations.

Hazard reduction should be done on the LNP

IIreckon The fact that he's PM in itself tells me there is no God!! Snake oil salesman.

Cue outrage from climate cultists

Why does it have to be either or? This from the biggest hazard we have at the moment while he leads the LNP into years in the wilderness.

Day by day it becomes clearer that our pulsating ad-man PM & his COALition govt do not represent Australians in electorates, states or our nation. They represent ma$$ive vested interests including the fo$$il fuels industry. It's as simple as that. They've been bought. Stooges.

Hmmm... how about both Scomo?

ScottyfromMarketing CrimeMinister PrimeCoward PrimeIdiot hotter conditions = less time to burn

The crimeminister will do anything to avoid doing anything to address the elephant in the room. auspol

Of course that’s what his fossil fuel masters told him to say

Bullshit! Any more forest burning and Aus population will die of toxic smoke exposure. And we’ll have no bush left auspol

As of 14/1 this year fires had destroyed 18.6M ha, that’s million. How does our ScottyFromMarketing envision that these hazard reductions get executed in reality? And by whom? By a group of volunteers who want to do it in their spare time or by bored army reserves?

That’s because he is a smart man

He's simply taking on genuinely expert advice and ignoring corrupt high ranking public service political shills: Now to stop councils from banning private property land clearing and bushfires will soon not be an issue. The climate cult will scream.

He's right, and good on him. Stick it up the climate cult, they are dangerous and the enemy of us all. If climate cultists want to cut emissions, cut your own, you hypocritical traitors.

Absolutely outrageous we should be subjected to such appalling behavior from a government supposedly meant to serve out interests. Bring on an election.

He doesn't get it, does he? Or maybe he does but he's obliged to look after his rich owners?

Obviously a correct statement

ScottyFromMarketting couldn't sound stupider if it tried. And ScottyFromMarketting tries really hard every day. No wonder its transmogrifying to CrimeMinister.

Wrong wrong wrong ScottMorrisonMP said that it was just as important to reduce emissions as hazard reduction burns !!

Hazard reduction burns should not be done just to meet targets IF the prevailing conditions aren't right. Out of control burns are a frequent problem, as is pollution when done in the wrong conditions. Meeting can cause problems if not managed properly.!

It’s as though the man hadn’t read a thing, listened to an interview on ANY techno-industrial issue or even 1 or 2 snippets of new science since his first speech in Parliament in February 2008 - Cap’n Cook a man of the enlightenment/ his wife/ &c “Rake the leaves..” auspol

When's the CrimeMinister releasing his peer reviewed White Paper on that opinion?

spoken like a true ignoramus ScottyfromMarketing LiarFromTheShire CrimeMinister

What an idiot. The conservative side of the party is still ignoring the problem. Matt Kearn is right, there is not unite in the party on climate change. Watch Morrison weasel his way, trying to please all and doing nothing.

Absolutely correct.....many of us have been saying this all along......except that Know All Greens with dispute that.....and Labor who rely on Greens preferences agree with The Idiocy from the Left.....

This bloke actually has FEWER clues than he had when he was in Hawaii.

ScottyfromMarketing is a big bafoon and I wonder why people still bother to listen to him.

Shouldn't the headline be Scotty from Marketing shouts uninformed opinions into the void hoping to be seen to be doing something.....?

Costing, please... Should include burns more frequently than annual because we know reduction burns 12 months ago didn't stop some of worst fires. And we'd like to stop worst. Then factor in smoke health effects, & where do we put the koalas? How many smoke days offered?

Why can’t we do both?

ScottyfromMarketing shows once again being fired from your last couple of jobs for mismanagement isn't a great qualification for PM.

Agree - states have been wilfully negligent

Scottyfrommarketing is nothing more than Crime Minister. Aussies hate his guts

Retreat position number 3. Sadly we have to say climate change is real, so then we say it's ok to do nothing about its cause and pretend other things might make us more comfortable. Play music as the ship sinks tactic is equivalent of building sea walls around the Opera House.

**that contradicts the experts. Cmon SBS don't do this.

TraciBr41295600 He's right.

It's not a solution, you have to do HR burns and reduce emissions, and stop selling coal overseas, sure obviously you can't do all at once, but you have to start somewhere. At the moment they are doing nothing - at all.

Surely we need to do both, even if it is ‘just in case’? The Indigenous method is slow, methodical and meticulous. Not like the ‘on the clock’ public servants who fit burns in between tea breaks.

Unless you reduce emissions you will end up not being able to safely do any hazard reduction burns as the fire season gets longer and harsher. Fires in some areas have been burning since September and the fire season will go into March. SEVEN months and growing.

Unbelievable ignorance from the PM of Australia. According to the 'real' experts. we need to do both. Where is Morrison getting his advice? From the fossil fuel industries? I'm stumped for words &%**$%! ScottyfromMarketing ScottyFromMarketting LNPClimateCriminals auspol

It’s also what the last two Royal Commissions into the Bushfires has told us

Does he get his advice from unit block developers like Gladys does?Destroying more bush will create hotter dryer weather and result in more fires.

Clearly, a hazard reduction burn is appropriate treatment for Scum_Mo's pathetic, science-denying, lying, LNP so-called government. After all, he said they'd burn for us. Here's their opportunity to act in Australia's best interest. MorrisonMustGo ClimateEmergency auspol

WHAT WOULD HE KNOW... Did JOHN HOWARD TELL HIM TO SAY IT. EX SACKED MARKETEER TURNED RACKATEER. CHRISTIANITY WORKS IN STRANGE WAYS...

Of course only Stralia's fires matter here. The fact that we're the world's largest exporters of coal & liquid gas which is massively adding to Global Warming is no worries. Just be ready for next year's disaster by burning more trees! Fair dinkum! ActOnClimate ClimateEmergency

He's just making this up.

FFS, Morrison loves to tinker around the edges, doesn't he? Emissions impact fire, flood, sea level, bleaching etc! And, why on earth we would assume Morrison has ANY knowledge on HR burns at all is unclear. The man can barely contain a smirk let alone deliver subject mastery.

This guy is a redundant piece of political furniture that he had to go and outdo his own initial stupidity with this piece of ridiculousness. He does not listen to experts, instead tries to maintain his and his partiy's lies partiy'sat the expense of the nation. Australiasshame

Fact check: ScottyFromMarketting ... but wait you don’t deal with facts do you? Only the big imaginary guy in the sky.

What a fool.

Checkmate Greens! Your arson plan backfired but at least now burn offs will ensure weaker bushfires from now on. Remember everyone, put the Greens last!

This has zero basis in fact&dangerous misleading&must be called out msm there are experts who totally disagree with his analysis & should be listened 2 The Damage Ppl land economy needs TRUTH if we are to prepare-I struggle 2say analysis as it’s blame game 2get him off the hook

Plus clearing of tall trees around homes should be compulsory. ScottMorrisonMP Why do we need to have our volunteer fire fighters' lives put at risk because people want to be Tarzan and Jane? Not to mention those who request felling and are denied by local councils.

Hazard reduction is removing the LNP from government

Australia could cut its carbon emissions to 0 & it would make no difference in the bushfire seasons. If you truly believe carbon emissions are the cause you had better be prepared to invade China & India if you want to make a difference. Any volunteers? No? I didn't think so.

Climate Crisis is a con. CO2 emission reductions will achieve NOTHING.

They certainly are. And should've been done.

Good

Is this Satire? Because if it isn't then it is becoming very clear how dense he truly is.

ALARMISM breaks every rule in SCIENCE & even ETHICS. Alarmism fades in all forms. The TRUTH is like a lion, it doesn’t need defending.

.....a question for ScottyfromMarketing will this protect us from other symptoms of climate change such as hotter summers ,huge dust storms and wild “golf ball sized “ hail storms in Canberra ?

That’s because big coal own Scumo and he has no transition plan to renewables whatsoever Oops just stated the obvious ScottMorrisonMP

💯

Fire chiefs said to him repeatedly hazard reduction is used and that this year due to UNPRECEDENTED high temps over the whole year, it was not safe to do. Doublespeak Scomo style.

Truth

Good on him, bad on people who voted for him. 13 years of back steps. Fanatics, fear mongering, and devision. Oooo migrant are changing our way of life, lets vote Libs. There you go. Let AU burne to ground now. 10s of dead, billions of animals, businesses, etc. What way of life?

He’s correct.

I can't believe people voted again for this party and especially him! How would people think? He fooled you with fear mongering and devision. How good is Australia?

Are you pointing out that he’s lying?

Everyone else has heard about the limited windows of opportunity for hazard reduction burns ScottMorrisonMP. Look at the comments. Where are you getting your advice? Honest question.

Makes sense.

ScottyfromMarketing

This PM scomo is getting more dangerous by the day!

Based on what flat earth science? Where did he get this information from? We would like to see the anecdotal evidence to back this statement.

ScottMorrisonMP is right & that's the science. Aus's manmade CO2 emmisions into Earth's atmosphere is 0.0000144% all of which is absorbed by Aus's plant life. So how would cutting that in half to 0.00000755% make any difference to the Climate? Its about Hazard Reduction.

Hey in 2020 it's really unprofessional and dangerous to present lies without qualifiers. Have a go at the Truth Sandwich method by GeorgeLakoff if you need guidance.

More hazard burns = more emissions. Forcing hazard burns in hot dry weather = disasters waiting to happen.

What do the scientists, ecologists, botanists, fire chiefs say? Oh, you don't care CrimeMinister ?

Cutting carbon emissions in Australia will have absolutely zero discernible effect on wildfires. That is simple scientific fact

ScottyfromMarketing this is voodoo science. It might work if we all hold hands and ask the sky fairy.

Both mitigation for future+adaptation for now. 'Japan has recently announced its adaptation policy saying 'Global warming can be countered through mitigation, by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and adaptation, by reducing the impact of global warming.''

Morrisons argument is this: The best way to prevent a resource that is essential for human existence from being destroyed is, not as one might suspect, by keeping it in a safe place, but rather, by reducing its volume so there is less to get destroyed. It is the logic of fools!

What does that say about the states? Hmm

Seriously and wilfully misinformed

The fossil fuel industry kickbacks too big to refuse _ donations to political partys must end

What? this drongo proposes to release more CO2 to stop climate change? I’ll bet he gets bled regularly to settle the humors

IF they don't schedule reduction burns on occasion, won't these burns schedule themselves like they've done this year?

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says nothing we have not heard before. And it still means nothing of any consequence whatsoever. auspol

Let’s have a Royal Commission. Don’t worry, I have all the answers anyway.

There is a need to implement an effective bushfire detection system. 183 people arrested for starting fires when only 17% statistically are caught means that there is an Arsonist factor playing on the massive spread of many fires. Less than 10% fires are of natural causes

bill_dobell He'll be punished by the media for talking such obvious common sense.

When rich people's homes are burning, that's when people will finally get rid of him. Thing is, the RFS warned him and he refused to meet with them. Why would anyone expect him to do anything different in hindsight?

simpleton wants simple answer to complex question.....i'm sure hazard reduction would work in some areas, in others it won't . the window for these burns is becoming smaller.. why? try answering that one scummo

More practical doesn’t necessarily mean better.

The man is a fool!

Sure if he has to pick ONE option, then go with that. But hazard reduction didn’t do diddly on the mega fire that was near me. The problem is hazard reduction burns are getting harder to do because the conditions won’t allow it. Due in part to climate change... :-(

Not fit for government.

I’m with you PM.

Half truth.

Trump style idiocy

This is rubbish rubbish rubbish ..he who speaks rubbish from mouth may no longer be heard ...resign now

ThisIsNotJournalism

Hey ScottMorrisonMP it’s not either / or. We need an integrated strategy to balance our use of natural resources, ecosystems and to develop economic opportunities. Perhaps reference CostaRica as a model of best practice

khtagh ScottyfromMarketing comes up with a new marketing slogan. Well done ScottyfromMarketing.

ScottyFromMarketting is really doubling down on stupidity. He’s been told that there’s no time to do them any more, but easier to blame someone else.

He is dump as dog sh...t

If all the Green Vegans at SBS didn’t fart so often that would cut emissions. In the meantime let’s get the hazard reduction burns happening and If a Green says something just ignore them.

Face palm

He obviously doesn't understand. At all.

Must be all his years as a fire fighter that makes him such an expert. NOT

When the fire fighters have said that the main limiting factor is the fact that climate change has made the safe window for burns smaller each year, this is just another monumental piece of lying propaganda from bullshitboy ScottyfromMarketing worst PM ever. auspol

I find cutting my toenails is a more practical solution for toenail care than wiping my bum will ever be. CrimeMinister

This man is an imbecile.

He’s honestly got to go

97% of scientific experts: Emissions reduction. ScottyfromMarketing: Hazard reduction.

Well he would, wouldn't he

Can he quote the scientific evidence/source for this claim? Sorry, silly question. Of course not

CrimeMinister

This garbage shouldn't be given any column inches other than to emphasise how dangerous it is

Hey Scott I can walk and chew gum at the same time, you should try it!

11000 expert climate scientists say he’s wrong

ScottMorrisonMP help me to understand how hazard reduction will provide a solution to hotter and drier bushfire seasons. Thank you.

Don’t give this man another term in office he has no vision for our future

He would say that, wouldn't he?

Have to keep those mining companies on side.....and let the over-use water resources

Listen to experts not a man in bed with the fossil fuel industry.

Gee thanks scoop. I think most people already know this.

Good on you, ScoMo! Let's keep it this way! 👍👍👍

No. You're adding to the problem with massive burn-offs. Why doesn't he understand that? Oh that's right, CrimeMinister ScottyfromMarketing LiarFromTheShire smoco scumo

This is up there with Trump's sweeping the forests.

What an utter moron. This guy is putting the nation’s lives at risk. Putting the entire economy at risk. The rest of the world sees how serious this is but not a Rapture believing denier. It’s shocking.

And PrimeMinister scomo is absolutely right, ask the people who live in these areas, which means you'll need to leave your city's and ask the real people. Scary thought, right ?

The man is dangerously ignorant. scottnoidea

Hazard reduction is at it's peak already. hazard reduction burns can CAUSE bushfires. I lived in Adelaide Hills only bushfire i personally saw was from an out of control burn. Scummo's reading his script provided by Murdoch/Rinehart

scoop!

What a load of self-combusting manure! CrimeMinister

We need billions of trees planted and the reforestation of Australia if we are to lessen the chance of drought. Removing trees will turn Australia into a desert

Why are you promoting this BS?

Sure, log and burn the country no fires when we sit in ashes hey.. 🤔

This is, of course, a lie. LiarFromTheShire CrimeMinister ClimateCriminal

Proving he can’t multitask and has the intellectual capacity of a discarded cigarette butt

Scott Morrison admits that he's clueless and incompetent.

Scomo has that aspect right, but for our sovereign integrity, please leave UN, Paris Accord that are governance centralizing, globalist communists hell bent on destroying our country's Christian western free enterprise capitalist successful culture; we did not vote for them.

Which experts? The science clearly says this leads to an extended period of higher risk post clearing. Ask him please.

Scotty from Marketing is a genius.

what an idiot he's playing to his colleagues on this one

There is nothing I can say anymore about this muppet just, CrimeMinister sportsrorts ScottyfromMarketing

Why? What evidence does he have? Is this reportage of expert opinion actually fake news if Mr Morrison is right? Is he going to provide the AU people with his contrary evidence? Who benefits?

Will absolutely anything to maintain the ideology

Has the CrimeMinister got his head buried in the ground? How about listening to people who know what they're talking about when it comes to cutting carbon emissions instead of loggers and the fossil fuels companies

👍 The whole world want to know how the fires started.

Insanity continues. Just doesn’t listen.

Well that comment just confirmed that he is either a complete idiot or completely in the pocket of the fossil fuel sector...possibly both.

err, NO.

These kinds of comments reflect the dying throes of someone who has absolutely no idea. He’ll soon be gone. ScottyFromMarketting

Well I blame everyone who voted for these dingbats.

Jesus, he never gives up ... the FW !!

'Prime Minister Scott Morrison says hazard reduction burns are a more practical solution to hotter and drier bushfire seasons than cutting carbon emissions' Sounds like common sense to me. Something those within the climate cult know very little about. SunDrivesClimate

That is exactly right.

ScottMorrisonMP is right!!! climatechangeisbullshit

I’d like to see the facts to support that claim

Of course ScottyfromMarketing LisrfromtheShire

No one listens to ScottyfromMarketing anymore. He’s too full of it & and it’s just painful to watch & listen & see. ScottyfromMarketing has to go.

He just doesn’t get it! Wtf is wrong with him!!!!!

THERE are things humans can control. Climate & weather isn’t one of them. BOM_au concurs... “the IOD’s legacy of widespread warm and dry conditions during the second half of 2019 primed the 🇦🇺’n landscape for bushfire weather & heatwaves this summer.”

Ahhhhh ScottMorrisonMP can you please visit a primary school when term begins and ask the kids to explain to you very slowly exactly what climate change is and how to slow down it’s effect because you clearly aren’t getting it !!

100% correct. It works in the NT.

Wow, ScottyFromMarketting everyone..

Jeeees! He can’t say that ! It’s like heresy or something ! He’ll get lynched by a mob of Gretabots.

I can see the RC terms of reference being written before my eyes.

correct.

More practical if you’re a shill for Big Mining

Yes! Pump more carbon back into the atmosphere! Terrific idea! 🤦‍♂️

Does the CrimeMinister even hear what he's saying?

We're all going to die because our climate change denying Prime Minister refuses to accept reality...

AnthonyCole68 NotHappyJenn

OMGTheMess Read the article and watch the interview folks. SBS baiting headline is NOT what he said. They’re just trying to trigger the endless outrage.

Hasn't the fire experts all said hazard reduction is not th e magic bullet but the denial keeps going.

The Prime Minister is spot on. Hazard reduction burns. And, Preventing climate emergency arsonists.

Blaming hazard reduction is like blaming the mouse for sinking the boat while there’s an elephant on it.

Again showing just how out of touch he is

ScottyfromMarketing is not qualified to have an opinion. He neither a climate scientist nor a bushfire expert. He likes touting coal for hos sponsors CrimeMinister by name and nature.

Common sense and science coming together at last.

Exactly how & when does he think it can be done? Fire season ends in April/May. It starts again in the last 4 weeks of winter. The RFS are already busy fighting out of control fires 9-10 mths a year. This was winter

True.

He’s not wrong

*sigh. Except we already do. But the window of safe weather is reducing opportunity. Because of climate change. As ex fire chiefs attempted to tell you & so are current ones. Now you can hazard burn when it's risky if you wear the consequences like Wilson's Prom ScottMorrisonMP

Unspeakable. With an approach of not cutting emissions by the world we will hit a 4 to 5 percent increase in temperatures. Mind you there won’t be much left to burn in Australia as we will be a complete desert

“Evangelical Prime Minister once again ignores expert advice.”

God spoke to him.

The burn to revive the soil it's just natural

So he’s on the the ‘blame the greens’ band wagon eh No shocker there.. Who the hell voted for this scumbag..

Yeah ...cos emissions have nothing to with fires...sure!

How is this man still in office. Climate change is real. When will these politicians realize it, when we are on the verge of losing this planet and everything on it. Look around you Morrison and Trump. Coral reefs dieing due to warmer waters, record temperatures. WAKE UP!

During the fires ScottyfromMarketing tells us climate change is real and once they are over his back peddling. Scomomustgo ClimateCriminal ClimateEmergency

Thick as innumerable short planks .

He means cheaper !

What a fool.

Not so simple. Burning also produces carbon! Please use known science knowledge. Science_Academy CSIRO ConversationEDU 9NewsAUS

We need long term, informed solutions rather than short term “practical” responses to ClimateChange. ScottyFromMarketting you need to just DoBetter

If only there was enough time in a year to safety do all the required hazard reduction. Excellent attempt at misdirection, ScottyFromMarketting, you're a true salesman.

Haven’t we all had enough yet? How much longer can our country and animals take this coal loving masochist

If he'd bothered to listen to the fire chiefs in May, he mightn't be so quick to make stupid and uninformed comments like this, not to mention we might have been in a much better position to deal with the current fire threats we're facing.

Is the CrimeMinister now an Expert in Areas that he has NO Expertise in ? ScottyfromMarketing is woefully Out of his Depth Omnicide courtesy of MorrisonFires AU auspol

What the Hell does ScottMorrisonMP do for brains? If his house were burning down, he'd call the fire-brigade; but it's just Australia that's burning down, so he wants to carry on putting fossilfuel on the flames.

AStrongerOZ That's because they are 🤔

he also says theft by his political party is ok. he is the CrimeMinister and a stranger to the truth

And while we are doing that maybe we could all just piss in the ocean!

He should just give more people work to help clear dry leaves and dry bark instead of back burning which clears the trees that help make us breathe

query why this is being presented as some sort of controversial statement when scomo is absolutely spot on! climatecult cutsbsfunding andtheabctoo quietaustraliansoutnumbertheleftards

This idiotic statement by this idiotic pentecostal seriously means he has no idea of what causes climate change A stubborn fool who is deaf to science and has all ears for anything mythical A guy who won't face the fact that he was partly responsible for loss of over 20 lives

OMGTheMess Fact eucalyptus leaves burn in the rain

OMGTheMess Common sense.

Why is the discourse around what is happening so cartoon like? It's far more complex than simply carbon emissions. That's part of it, but the no-brainer is planting more trees, and moving to renewables before Germany, Denmark and Finland beat us to it. Oh, wait. They already did.

...to understand Morrison’s response to climate change, you have to appreciate who is advising him.....watch this video, then you will understand why fuel reduction is the only logical response Morrison's Coal Connections via YouTube

OMGTheMess Cue shrieking from the alarmists...

OMGTheMess

Here here Scomo

So Australia producers 1% of 🌍 carbon but we must destroy our economy. We need more hazard reductions, dams, better infrastructure and instead of logging let’s try to replant of forests because we all no China is never going to stop creating pollution.

Hey sbs, you forgot a trigger warning.. surely since you play left field, you would know your followers would lose the plot when hearing practical solutions... not the fairy tales normally used climatehoax

The most practical way is not generally the one that delivers the best results.

Scotty from marketing showing his true coal lobby credentials. Hasn’t listened to a word from the state fire commissioners who have explained ad nauseam that the problem is that changing climate has given them smaller windows of opportunity to control burn. What a DH he is.

Unless he’s talking about Aboriginal cultural burning practises, and I suspect he isn’t, the man’s a fool.

Sounds like he's thought it all through then. Cool. CrimeMinister ScottyfromMarketing

You sir are a total arseclown ScottMorrisonMP

He has no expertise in any field to make this call. He appears to be using the donald trump handbook of how to be a self serving piggy bank at the taxpayers expense. Except now our country is burning, flooding, drought ridden and devoid of leadership auspol ClimateEmergency

What a complete Arsewipe is ScottyfromMarketing . He's learnt nothing. Zero. Sweet FA.

He’s an eco-war criminal ... The Hague now has proof ... straight from the horse’s mouth ... he’s done for ...

Can't wait to get those very grubby paws on those logs

Scott's already admitted he doesn't hold a hose. Why give him any credit for having a clue now?

No smart arse, a fleet of nationally owned large aerial water tankers is the fail safe to ensure we don't get a repeat of the total unprepardness as for this disastrous summer's bush fires. Cough up the money and keep Australia safe... and save $50b in damage & economic loss

Does he EVER listen to anyone?

The man is an embarrassment 😡

AnthonyCole68

Not there not. A far better solution is employing those of our Indigenous Brothers & Sisters with the knowkedge & skills passed down, to guide, teach and help undertake land & bush management practices such as cool fires to help rebuild the landscapes & bush understorey for all.

Anything but challenge the fossil fuel industry

Well Scotty from marketing, what does the science say?

This is obvious

I think I have heard it all now!

FFS!

AnthonyCole68 Dear SBS News. It's not 'news' to report 'person A says X' without comment, when X is full of falsehoods and their argument is trash. Please do better.

This idiot has no common sense- politics should be put aside and expert advice acted on before he stuffs this country completely

Single use brain cell might help young ScottyfromMarketing .

He went on to say, the shovel comes before the shit, a bird in the hand is prolly worth 0.5 in the bush, beauty is age contextual, the horse belongs before the cart and a stitch in time saves little more than .09.

AnthonyCole68 Jesus H Christ! ScottyfromMarketing

Menace. This absolutely the opposite of what we should be doing. We need more trees!

This is marketing. It is selling the idea that it was someone else’s fault and that addressing emissions (and therefore energy/coal sector) is basically pointless. He’s defending the hand that feeds the LNP.

Wow, that man does not learn. We need an election now!

🤦🏻‍♀️

This is utter claptrap and ignores what the fire experts are saying. But ScottyfromMarketing is notorious for ignoring experts and running with his feelpinions.

AnthonyCole68 OMG is this guy for real? ScottyfromMarketing is unbelievable. Where is he getting his information from? At the back of a Weeties box

Shows how fucking out of touch he is! CrimeMinister ScottyfromMarketing

Knows everything except how to listen to those who really know

This guy is worse than useless. Get out of the way Morrison, leave it to people not in the pocket of the coal industry.

Morrison hasn’t explained how he will train the required workers, pay them and transport them to remote areas on the few safe days to manage controlled burns, over tens of millions of hectares. Morrison is talking shit.

Hey SMOKO ScottMorrisonMP why don't we cut emissions (with maximum effort) and avoid the hotter, drier bushfire seasons altogether. auspol bocottmurdoch

Cos he's thick and bought and a white supremacist who has zero respect for or emotional connection to the country.

His usual lack of interest in what bushfire experts say will have the same dramatic repercussions as did Morrison's refusal to meet with the ex-fire chiefs last year. Not good at learning lessons, is he? Beneath contempt!

Fuckwit!

The window to do this has been significantly reduced due to a changing climate. Too dangerous to do hazard reduction burns even in winter. Not to mention cuts and restructuring to the government departments who do this. 🔥😳

Has he consulted any environmental experts? Or is he just blurting thought bubbles? How is the recovery moving for affected communities - or has that passed too?

Of course its a practical solution for each year but it doesn't deal with the long term effects of CC. We have to be realistic and make smart long term plans.

He clearly doesn’t understand climate science and lack of opportunity for hazard reduction. Why are you legitimising this?

Now is not the time to talk about hazard reduction burns. That was months ago when you shunned the meeting with Former fire chiefs.

Land clearing, grazing in national parks...WTAF! What is he on? Just let them try it, they'll have the country up in arms

Clearly ScottMorrisonMP just got back his focus group results. What a shameful dangerous stunt, not even close to a meaningful policy. Again ignoring the Fire Commissioners. A crisis requires a sound, measured response, not superficial spin. Too important. You just look a fool

If you're not creative and imaginative enough to keep the economy rising without cutting carbon, then you must resign, ScottMorrisonMP auspol ScottyfromMarketing

Wowwww

greenvergewoman This is up there with the 'we need to build more dams' idea. Dams are great but the water to fill them is reducing. Hazard reduction burns are great but the window of opportunity to carry them out is reducing. At the same time you MUST REDUCE carbon emissions.

Hey SBS why do you just parrot snotty ScottyfromMarketing BS talking points? Do some reporting AustraliaBurning talk to experts like Science_Academy read the research like

TerrySerio No Prime Minister No!

Here comes the land clearing...

I agree

CrimeMinister ClimateCriminal ScottyFromMarketing

Wondering how many of those commenting actually read the article? 'Hazard reduction is as important as emissions reduction,' the prime minister told Sky News on Tuesday or is it just more WOKE to criticize the PM irrespective of what is actually said

Where is his evidence? Who are his sources? Are they creditable scientists who have crunched the numbers? The PM (even one as stupid and intractable as this) should know that you can’t just say this stuff without backing it up with evidence.

ScottMorrisonMP Man up and stare the Murdoch’s and mining cronies in the face and be true to the truth and leave a legacy of life to future generations.

He would, wouldn't he. Does the fact that most hazard reduction burns couldn't be done this winter because it was too hot and dry register as a problem for this strategy for simpletons ? If we don't stop burning and mining coal the next drought will be even hotter and drier.

New headline: 'Prime Minister Scott Morrison is Wrong'

What an absolute scientific illiterate!

That's going to be difficult with a 12 month fire season!

ScottMorrisonMP not learnt a thing, what will it take one wonders what will it take. Just resign

Yep, that's what he said

longer and longer fire seasons due to climate change are reducing the window for being able to safely do hazard reduction burns but ok Scotty
