Looks like frost but it's Spider season In Australia AVNd We have a city to bum.
My girlfriend is currently crying because she thought the $70 she wanted to spend on "adopting" a koala bear from the Australian brush fires was actually going to physically get her a koala bear. Like they would just Fedex that s--- to us, and not just her become a sponsor. 8:32 PM · 03 Jan 20 from Texas, USA · Twitter for iPhone 28.5K Retweets 293K Likes

greens: "don't use fire breaks
dont do controlled fires
don't chop trees in your own property"

and when fire inevitably destroys countless homes and animals because all methods of preventing the fire were outlawed, what do they geens say?
"hurr it's because of climate change, it was all YOUR fault"

yeah, no, fuck off.

An important factor, but often ignored one is that most of the fires start off man made, heck I remeber a story a few months back where an Australian Fire Fighter started some fires, it is true climate change has helped make this partly worse, but some of it was caused in part by, if I am not mistaken the fact Australian Government actually took actions which extended the Bushfire season, so there was a lot more dead wood everywhere meaning there was more wood to burn when a fire started. What I am trying to say is that this whole situation isn't just a climate change issue.
