About 200 people have been sentenced with arsene and dont you think it is a coincidence that the bush fires started the same time as they did it? A natural fire would take a long time. |

Arson is always a contributing factor to bushfires, which are part of the Australian ecosystem. However, they're not the only factors, and they would not have been as severe or started as early without climate change. |

"Human have been involved in spreading the fires. I don’t know how they started. "
Typically in bushfires, combination of arson, carelessness (cigarette butts out car windows), and natural causes like lighting |

It was a combination of arson , scorching temperatures, lack of rain and lawa banning backfires that all combined to create this monumental fuck up.
Hopefully Australia will learn from this .
Although it may be too late for some parts to recover.
Well over a billion animals dead is just tragic .
Anyone who deliberately started any of these fires should be locked in a cage with a pack of hungry Dingos  |

"Apparently most were started by lightening.
Yes I heard this, and then in turn the bush fires were then creating there own lightning storms"
Yes but it didnt help by the other 200 people starting some of it. |

"The aboriginal people say fires are good because it clears the detritus from the forest floor. "
That is right too but the wild life suffer as well such as the koala bears and their food.

Some trees , such as the eucalyptus can only disperse seeds through being burned in fire......
They will spring back. |

Backburning, for this reason, predates European settlement.
It's done, these days, in winter in controlled cool settings, in part to reduce the severity of fires in the summer. No, it hasn't been limited by environmentalists.
Fires on this scale are about a changing climate. |
