CNN Hints Climate Skeptics to Blame for Australia Wildfires
newsbusters.org ^ | 1/4/2020 | Brad Wilmouth

On Thursday's New Day show, CNN correspondent Anna Coren highlighted accusations by climate alarmists that the Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison, is partly to blame for the intensity of the current wildfires because he has not done enough to support regulations to try to curb global warming, as if were possible for government action to do so.

At 6:45 a.m. Eastern, after Coren spent most of a two-minute report recalling the plight of Australian residents in New South Wales who are having trouble finding a safe place because of the large area effected by the fires, the CNN correspondent concluded the piece by uncritically repeating claims that the prime minister had helped cause the problem:

ANNA COREN: I should mention that the Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison, who has been heavily criticized for his lack of leadership, for his government's inaction on climate change. Well, he was berated and heckled today at a town that was devastated by those fires on New Year's Eve.

Residents there telling him that he should be ashamed of himself, that he allowed them to burn. So he is definitely feeling the pressure. People really across Australia really feel Australia's government is not doing enough to help these people.

just like CA..the fuel is allowed to build up over decades so when there actually is a fire its burns much more intense

At least the fuel is being burned off so there areas being burned will be much safer for years to come

.... Turns out there are more than 200 suspected arsonists at work setting a large chunk of these fires in the Land Down Under ...... It wasn’t long ago that there was a call from Imams to set fires in the unbelieving nations ..... Coincidence?

Here’s another reference suggesting land management negligence.

In Communist Russia, those in authority were always quick to cast blame for every conceivable problem.

They’re right, I did it, it was me. The problem isn’t with the insane MSM propaganda. The problem is the people that buy their bull sh!t.

I wonder if the fires in Australia, are an impeachable offense?

No but I’m sure blowing up the top terrorist in the world and sticking their embassy attack right up their mphfm... without the participation of the gang of apes MUST be an impeachable offense.
