Sorry, always wanted to start a rebuttal with that. But, as you can see, preparation for supporting my argument has yielded my own evidence. See how easy it is to grab peer-reviewed science on one's causes? The politicisation of science is indeed an issue, and both sides can easily present arguments based on peer-reviewed science. After all, it's quite easy to have your allies back it up. However, in many cases, an array of claims against human-caused climate change are being countered.According to NASA, 97% of the world's actively publishing climate scientists have concluded - and they did back this through peer reviews with a number of scientific organisations across the US - that humans are having an impact on climate change, and this is creating worsening conditions. Australia moved straight from fires into floods, with many locations being flooded to the point that they have already surpassed their previous year's rainfall total, so it's not just heat. The instability of climate can cause many severe disasters. Scientific consensus favours human impact on climate and the environment, and here's a good-sized list of worldwide agencies whose findings have acknowledged this:You seem to place the blame on arsonists, or at the very least drew attention to their involvement. While this may be true depending on the case, it is ultimately fallacious to place the blame solely on them. We arrested arsonists when fires devastated Victoria - my home state, mind you, and my home town came perilosuly close to being consumed by the infernos - back in 2009. The idiot responsible for said fire is in jail.And yet the fires continued, worse than ever before. The cataclysmic events of mid-late 2019/early 2020 happened despite some arsonists being arrested in the past. Some other fool seems willing to arise, as if defying the warnings on purpose.Yet it is not always the fault of a human. A fire doesn't have to come from wilful arson. It could be started by damaged electrical cables, an automobile accident, countless other factors. All of these factors become more severe triggers because of record-breaking dry spells. It's incredibly difficult to light wet wood, but dry tinder - grass, scattered leaves, undergrowth - will burn effortlessly. And the flammability of eucalyptus oil combined with the dry trees and tinder will create even better conditions for fire. It doesn't matter HOW the fires start - what matters is the conditions. If everything's vulnerable, as it has been due to scorching dry winds from the north, years of drought, and higher than average surface temperatures - all of which have seen increases in the past 30 years - then anything which starts a fire can easily result in an out of control inferno. Observe the information from the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia:You can read up on plenty of information there, after all, records are thorough and extensive. The commonly-used counter-arguments you've provided here are no different to that espoused by the government and its close connections, the right-wing media empire of Rupert Murdoch, here in Australia. Climate scientists have frequently disproven the arguments of such personnel - notably, two weeks ago, Liberal Senator Jim Molan severely put his foot in it by claiming he 'doesn't rely on evidence' in regards to climate change. In fact, many ministers, such as MP Craig Kelly, have been caught on the back foot when pressed by experts. Science is designed to constantly evolve and develop, move forward; it gets better with time, our understanding growing. The fact older science is surpassed by new science is a major feature. And yet many counter-arguments remain the same, even when given severe scrutiny.This is a perfect country to install solar energy. Plenty of open space, lots of sunlight, geologically stable. A forward-thinking government could do much to benefit the environment. Instead, the Morrison government and its Liberal predecessors have continued to sell Australia out to coal. They have sacrificed our natural wonders for the sake of pollution and environmental degradation. And Scott Morrison has been exposed for his lack of leadership. He may not have a magic wand to wave and immediately stop the fires, but his refusal to act in any way on addressing climate change, and his weak-willed adherence to the heavily polluting coal industry leaves him guilty. Hell, even I'm guilty, for I did not speak up when the time was right. But I will now.As I said before, anyone can get their scientific papers reviewed by those who support them, and I acknowledge the politicisation of science has become an issue. But the evidence weighs heavily on the side of those who acknowledge human-caused climate change and its impact upon the world.You have your right to present your views, just as I have the right to present mine. I disagree with what you say and have cited evidence which I believe will serve to counter your points. But I will not attack you personally. I do not respect you any less as a person, for this sort of robust debate is necessary. At the very least, you took pains to compile evidence, which means you are far better than many people on both the Right and Left. So I would ask you to ponder this, and have a good day.
