Report: Arson Epidemic, Not Climate Change, Behind Australia’s Bushfires

Australian law enforcement has arrested over 180 people for arson in connection with the nation’s raging bushfires, as alarmists try to pin the blazes on “climate change.”

All of the 183 alleged arsonists have been arrested since the start of this year’s bushfire season, the Australian reported Tuesday, adding that 29 fires were deliberately started in the Shoalhaven region of southeast New South Wales (NSW) in just three months.

Drawing on data from NSW Bureau of Crime and Statistics and Research, the newspaper reported that “183 people have been charged or cautioned for bushfire-related offences since November 8, and 24 arrested for deliberately starting bushfires.”

The extent of the arson is vast, as police have arrested people for lighting bushfires across Queensland, NSW, Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania in the past few months, police data reveals.

In Queensland alone, 101 people have been detained for setting fires in the bush, 32 adults and 69 juveniles, police noted.

According to professor Janet Stanley of Melbourne University, the arsonists are typically young males, aged 12 to 24, or older men in their 60s.

Meanwhile, alarmists have been excitedly pointing to the bush fires as evidence of a worldwide climate emergency caused by fossil fuel emissions.

On New Year’s day, the Guardian published an essay by Michael Mann, arguably the world’s preeminent climate alarmist, who said he was “watching climate change in action” while on holiday in Australia.

In his article “Australia, your country is burning – dangerous climate change is here with you now,” Mann claimed he was witnessing the devastating effects of climate change “first hand.”

Best known for his debunked “hockey stick” graph showing supposedly unprecedented 20th-century global warming after centuries of allegedly stable temperatures, Mann wrote that instead of “vast expanses of rainforest framed by distant blue-tinged mountain ranges,” he looked out into “smoke-filled valleys, with only the faintest ghosts of distant ridges and peaks in the background.”

“The brown skies I observed in the Blue Mountains this week are a product of human-caused climate change,” Mann asserted.

“The warming of our planet – and the changes in climate associated with it – are due to the fossil fuels we’re burning: oil, whether at midnight or any other hour of the day, natural gas, and the biggest culprit of all, coal,” he declared.

Australians “need only wake up in the morning, turn on the television, read the newspaper or look out the window to see what is increasingly obvious to many – for Australia, dangerous climate change is already here,” Mann stated.  

“Australia is experiencing a climate emergency. It is literally burning,” he said.

Well, burning, yes. Man-made, yes.

But it’s called arson, not climate change.

the question being are they affliated to some cause to promote climate change?

I've been contemplating that off and on all afternoon....    I guess we will see as their trials come about...

A few years ago I read that one tactic the terrorists have been encouraged to use is arson. Could this be a terrorist attack on australia?

Setting fires is common among illegals entering arizona btw. They set fires to distract border patrol while they get away.

That's a great article,  other one.  Here in Australia they are all blaming our prime minister for the fires in failing to take leadership to prevent climate changes.

Our government's leaders cannot bring about global environmental change. They can only help to encourage those who have caused harm to the earth to stop doing so. How is this possible when the damage has already been done and it's far too late? The best we can hope for is to slow the process down. It doesn't look likely at this point. We are toast.

Global warming still an issue though. It is sad, very sad, about that continent. Humans destroy this planet one way or another. Yes, climate changes naturally but also humans speed up the process of destroying the ozone layer, chemicals, pollution, over population, and all that stuff. Along with that, humans just careless.
