It's a valid argument that that climate change is driving the severity and frequency of bushfires in Australia.

From the 7.30 report 21/10/2013

"Scientists told 7.30 the science is in, the link between global warming and bushfires has been established and it's time for action. "

"JOHN CONNOR, CEO, THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE: 'Carbon pollution is a heat-trapping greenhouse gas that is like putting the weather on steroids. It drives the greater extremes. It's not just warmer weather, it's wilder weather.' "

no. there's always someone yelling 'fuel reduction' etc . or people who insist that increases in the numbers of extreme weather events isn't related to climate change..

It is the perfect time to really get minds focused on what is happening now with the weather changes worldwide

Although bushfires have always been part of our climate...... they are becoming more severe and escalating.

Nothing focuses the mind more than personal threat.

On the 6th of February 1851, 5 million hectares, were burnt during a bush fire in Victoria. Anyone heard of a larger bush fire in Australia.?

"Should global warming be a hush topic when there are severe bushfires?"

No.

When it's happening year after year instead of once every decade or so, you know there's an imbalance of nature.

A silly comparison.

Comparisons have been made. It was the largest.

The current NSW bushfires are being compared by fire officials, with the 2001 ones for severity.. that was over 10 years ago.

Global warming is called Climate change now isn't it?

I think there probably would have been just as many bushfires hundreds of years ago in Aust as there are now, ones caused by natural causes (not caused by dropped cigarette butts or arson).

Bush fires have been a part of the Australian landscape for approximately 60 million years.... According to the Australian University of Canberra.
