If global warming alarmists are wrong in blaming this season’s bushfires on Earth’s ever-changing climate, then what was the cause? The answer, or at least a big part of it, is not hard to see. It’s now summer in Australia, and intense bushfires have occurred on the continent with regularity for thousands of years. Numerous government fire commissions have all reached the same conclusion: that hazard reduction is the only way to prevent bushfires from spiraling out of control. According to Australian forester and former acting fire control officer Ian McArthur, climate change did not cause the current crisis:
“Long unburnt fuels [dead trees, tall grass, undergrowth, etc.] in national parks are the primary cause. Basic fire management states that a fire needs oxygen, a heat source and fuel. The only one of those that can be manipulated is fuel. The more fuel, the more intense the fire, the harder it becomes to suppress the fire.”
In other words, planned fire prevention burns eliminate the natural ground fuel upon which rapidly spreading wildfires depend. In commenting on the cause of the fires, Ms. Devine wrote that “blaming climate change is a cynical diversion from the criminal negligence of [Australian jurisdictions] which tried to buy green votes by locking up vast tracts of land as national parks, yet failed to spend the money to control ground fuel and maintain fire trails.” (Fire trails are roads built in forests to provide emergency access to firefighting equipment and personnel.)
Netflix has a movie called - The California Water Wars. A good in its own respect if you queue up to the 56-minute mark there is a section that explains how the water underground in Australia was auctioned off.

Huge forest fires in California for thousands of years, too. Proof = the giant redwoods, the sequoias... The pine cones only open and release the seeds when there is a forest fire. Some of the trees are 2000+ years old. Thus, forest fires date back at least 2000 years, well before glowbull warming
