Australians leave homes as heat, winds escalate fire danger

A yacht sails past a burning woodchip mill as the wildfires hits the town of Eden, New South Wales, Australia, Friday, Jan. 10, 2020. The wildfires have destroyed 2,000 homes and continue to burn, threatening to flare up again as temperatures rise.

“We want people out into safer places,” Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons told reporters. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the Australian military was on standby to help firefighters and emergency agencies. Last week, some houses in the village were destroyed by a fire that turned the afternoon sky first a deep magenta and then pitch black, Nightingale said.A wind change from the south was predicted for Friday evening, which officials fear could blow the flames in a new direction. Nightingale said he and the other firefighters would work to snuff out any spot fires that flare up to try and keep them from spreading.

Morrison said on Thursday that a government inquiry into the fires would examine the role of climate change.

“Kulaks and wreckers who deny that anthropogenic climate change (peace be unto it) caused these fires are solely to blame. Patriots should consider which of their neighbors need to be referred to district authorities for re-education”

Very sad hoping for the best as much has been lost in human animals and the forest.?

I'm surprised President Trump hasn't offered helpful advice to Australia that he did to California and tell them to rake their forests more frequently. GlobalWarming

Bushfires won't stop unless you give up from your sins

Hate to speculate but it seems like these major fires keep happening in the 'greenest' parts of the world. California, Australia, Canada. Almost like they want to blame forest fires set by arsonists on global warming.

Hope those climate change fire staters get their just rewards.

I can’t believe Rupert Murdoch and Scott Morrison are spreading rumours that volunteer fire fighters are setting these fires. Pathetic.
