Bushfire season ‘the summer of unprecedented stupidity’

Outsiders host Rowan Dean says the current Australian bushfire season “has been the summer of unprecedented stupidity”. “Never before have we had to suffer such idiocy in public debate and political commentary, nationally and internationally, in relation to two of the most common and predictable occurrences in Australia's climate cycle – drought and bushfires,” Mr Dean said. “Australia accounts for only 1.3 per cent of the global emissions supposedly responsible for the increase in intensity of these fires. “The climate cult would bankrupt our nation to save at most 1.3 per cent of the bushfire damage. “We should be putting all our efforts into doing practical things that we know historically can and will make us safer.” Image: News Corp Australia
