‘Opportunistic Use Of Bushfires By Climate Alarmists’ Fails: Majority Of Australians Blame Hazard Reduction

A recent Newspoll has found most Australians – 56 per cent – believe the main cause of the recent devastating bushfires was a lack of proper hazard reduction with 35 per cent saying it was due to climate change.

The Institute of Public Affairs’ Gideon Rozner told Sky News host Gemma Tognini the “opportunistic use of these bushfires by climate alarmists” has failed to convince people of the effects of climate change on disasters like the bushfires.

“I think it’s turned a lot of people off the broader cause,” Mr Rozner said.
