[QUOTE="chankly bore, post: 115168, member: 317"] The 180 arsonists is an anti-green misrepresentation. 183 people were charged with having flouted total fire ban rules, such as operating grinding or welding equipment mostly.I'm not sure any arson was reported in N.S.W. I think 24 were illegal backburns or campfires allowed to remain alight. NO arsonists were reported in Victoria or on Kangaroo Island. Lightning strikes, some caused by pyro- cumulus (look it up) were the commonest cause. Our Bureau of Meteorology shows lightning strikes and it feckin' terrifies me. The pro-coal/ fossil fuel folk are now saying we need more fuel reduction burning, but this is treating the symptom, not the disease.Verifiable fact: a backburn last year in N.S.W. destroyed houses, so where do you go from there? In 2008 Professor Ross Garnaut predicted this year's fires with astounding accuracy.He was only paid lip service by both sides of politics. Look that up, too. If we were all in a Petrie dish we'd be a plague! [/QUOTE]
