I suppose it all depends on what you consider to be the greatest...is it the area of fire-cover, the number of houses destroyed, or the number of people killed?
If blackened territory is the criteria, one particular region/year might win the title, but if it’s damage to human habitation/infrastructure, then that’s another, and that of course depends on the population density of the fires at the time. Or, you could take into account the statement by the ‘scientist’ who says that over a billion ‘animals’ have been wiped out, and in that billion he includes insects, frogs and lizards.
Now,tragedy is a contest, right? Who can write the most riveting headline...and include the global warming punchline.

Yes, logic and free inquiry are now passee.Or we might say that they fart into their own cupped hands and smell their own global warming, mistaking the “odeur” as tyranny necessitating global warming. Meh!
Climate Change people think they are super aware as if gods, jealously buoyed by technology. The inescapable fact is that people like “P Gosselin” parade anonymous techno-disguised ignorance as some kind of indelible wisdom to which we all should genuflect?
Buahahahahahahaha!
Its actual ignorance of the highest order, designed to dull international response in support of Australia, whether that be material aid, fire fighting support, logistical support , or just plain sympathy.
That damns “P Gosselin” and the cowardly anonymous Kraut Klimate blogger: “Snow Fan here ,” and posits the prima-fascie case of liberal fascist propaganda , in aid of the Global Warming crowd of tin foil hatters and their tender totalitarian mercies.
Because of all that brush fire you see, Australia needs to evolve towards more socialism and more tyranny? HA! Eff them.
