[OnlinePoker]

Police in Australia are accusing 24 people of deliberately setting bushfires

The Australia wildfires are a countrywide catastrophe, mainly caused by drought and extreme heat, but dozens of people are directly to blame for some of the problem, officials say.

Police have charged at least 24 people for intentionally starting bushfires in the state of New South Wales, according to a statement the New South Wales Police released Monday.

NSW Police have taken legal action against 183 people, 40 of whom are juveniles, for fire-related offenses since November 8, the statement said. The legal actions range from cautions to criminal charges.

1. Their PM denies climate change

While I know arsonists do this all the time, it seems convenient they have so many at this time to blame. It just seems a little suspicious it helps take the focus if climate change being a cause.

2. Yeah it happened when the Smokey Mountains caught on fire and burned Gatlinburg

They charged 4 teenagers but later dropped the charges. The most they got was to fine one guy for throwing a cigerett into a pile of leaves.

There probably are some human causes to these fires. A lit cigarette, a burn that gets out of hand, a firecracker set in the wrong location, a campfire that isn't fully extinguished. But normally, with normal weather and temperatures, it wouldn't cause hundreds of acres of wildfires.

But global warming deniers want to blame everyone and everything around the fires in order to pretend worse is not coming. They are blind fools sitting in their hidey holes tapping their heels and saying 3 times, "there's no such thing as global warming." When the science warns you something bad is coming, use magic and lies to pretend otherwise.
