Australian PM under pressure as bushfires fuel climate debate

SYDNEY - Calls for Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison to resign have littered social media platforms after it was revealed he was holidaying in Hawaii while the country battled a bushfire emergency and his return has failed to douse the criticism.

On Twitter on Tuesday, #NotMyPrimeMinister, #MorrisonMustGo and #ScoMoResign were the top trending topics in Australia after a viral video showed a volunteer firefighter, Jacqui, shaking hands with Morrison as she said “not my prime minister”. Uncontrolled fires are still burning in South Australia, after ripping through the state’s prominent wine region, and around the country’s largest city Sydney.

He also ruled out holding a summit with the nation’s fire chiefs and compensation for thousands of volunteer firefighters who have battled blazes for months.

“Debate,” really? Fix your headline please.

It's a scam to tax poor people, it always has been. That's why it is not called global warming anymore. The weather will always change, climate will always change.

. Wonder if the Australian PM will see the context between his flying (+10 h) for vacation and bush fires/climate change..

Yeah well, PM best wise up to what's happening around him. It's not his fault he's a populist and takes queues from Trump-types but when your world is engulfed in flames, it's time to wake up.

Instead of wasting your time dribbling about the Australian PM why don't you scurry back to the sewer plant and continue your search for Russian caviar in the waste products coming from the Whitehouse toiletry systems.

Did he fly back from Hawaii on OBama’s private jet?

Australia need to sort out the arsonist first before spending $trillions on climate change schemes

Arson

The climate is a collective resource and its annihilation by private companies is a crime.

Fake news

I really hate this man. And now he must answer for not caring about an extinction event in the making like non other on earth.

Lemme guess .... he’s situated on the right (ie, deplorably wrong) side of the political spectrum?

So of course he defends the coal industry, because money.

The danger to representative democracies is not having a check on the ignorant, unaware, or greedy. How democracies are structured are important.

Only from the leftard noisy minority

Not sure how most of the fires were deliberately lit

He's NotMyPM

Would HUGE PLANES that scoop up ocean water and DUMP such on the FIRES work at all?
