Those from the climate change religion say we should listen to the scientists.
Fires not due to climate change: expert
Linking NSW's bushfires to climate change is 'nonsense', a leading expert says.
Linking the bushfire disaster in NSW to climate change is "an absolute nonsense" and reducing fuel loads in the Australian bush is urgently needed, a leading scientist says.
Retired Monash University researcher David Packham says global warming is a gradual process which doesn't explain major bushfires.Greens deputy leader Adam Bandt has been accused of playing politics by linking the NSW bushfires to the new federal government's climate change policies.
But Mr Packham says there is no link.
"It's an absolute nonsense," he told AAP.
Mr Packham has previously accused "latte conservationists" of having too much influence on forest management.He says fuel loads are now the heaviest they have been since human occupation of the continent and Aboriginal methods need to be adopted.
Flying over the Blue Mountains in recent years had been "frightening", he said.
"There's been this determination over the last 10 to 20 years to not treat our country in the same way the indigenous people treated it for 30,000 years," Mr Packham said.
Mr Packham called for an end to playing politics with bushfires and instead called for leadership based on scientific evidence.https://www.sbs.com.au/news/fires-not-due-to-climate-change-expert Those from the climate change religion ignore the scientists who go against the narrative the climate change religion is trying to construct.
