Bushfires: It wasn't Global Warming, it was Green Party Idiocy

The bushfires here in Australia have devastated huge areas, wiped out many hundreds of homes and killed (what will probably be when the toll is finished) some 200 people.

The Greens, of course, have leapt on the "See! Global Warming disaster!!!" bandwagon. They blame high temperatures and strong winds and all other usual manifestations of Australian Summer weather on causing the fires. Well they are WRONG.

Apart from the fact that some of the most devastating fires were DELIBERATELY LIT, the reason that the fires were so ferocious is because people in the areas concerned were FORBIDDEN to remove trees and vegetation (http://www.theage.com.au/national/fined-for-illegal-clearing-family-now-feel-vindicated-20090211-84sw.html.) Along with the accumulation of many, many tonnes of debris from the likes of the deadly (just add fire) Stringybark trees and thousands of tonnes of leaf litter from all the other Australian native trees that actually REGENERATE THROUGH FIRE, no one was allowed to remove any of it (http://www.theage.com.au/national/angry-survivors-blame-council-green-policy-20090211-83p0.html).

Stupid bloody loony environmentalcases have done it again; this time people paid for idiotic "Green" thinking with their lives...
