    The other problem is of course is what Wild Life, birds reptiles etc etc etc will exist then? Nothing to feed on or water to drink. Reported that birds are falling out of the sky, not directly caused by the fires with burnt wings (??) but they are too weak to stay in the air & it appears the larger animals are devouring the smaller ones as there is nothing for them either.
    Just another smoke and mirrors media event.
    Unfortunately animals have fallen victims to bush fires since the dawn of time.
    Yes, it’s terrible, although it has happened forever.

    Up here in previous summers the heat has had birds etc dropping from the trees. Those that can find water or food survive.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Or perhaps Bob should just listen to the mods, and pay attention to what others here on the forum think of some, if not most, of his posts.
    Boggles the mind how he, (Bob) gets away with it, time and time again. It's been going on for years! Yet, he's still here....
    Makes Facebook look credible.

    Exactly.

    For example KI, has taken 12 years of no fuel controls to reach critical.

    Many of the areas burning had large fires ~10-12 years ago.


    Definitely not the way to go about it though. The costs of these fires are very high. Climate Change and our Land of Fire, Flood and Drought.

    Terrible. 28 people killed, more than 2000 structures destroyed, 10 million hectares burned, numerous businesses going down, millions of animals killed, maybe 1% cut from GDP - there has to be a better way.

    Started re-reading Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu today after seeing he had to defend his own property in the Gippsland.

    Aboriginal land management practices prevented such hot burns for over 60,000 years, so maybe it's time we learnt some lessons from them.

    I don’t think it’s that simple........sure let consult and include them but it’s a little more complicated these days. Has the current generation been actively managing the land and or have the skills and knowledge.

    Controlled burns do go wrong........
