Bush Fires in Australia

This would make you think about not bothering with the Pension contributions lads.

There are bushfires in Australia literally every year in recorded history that involve multiple human deaths, hundreds of houses burned, multiple thousands of animal deaths and hundreds of thousand or millions of acres burned.

Black Thursday in 1850 burnt 12 million acres and killed over a million sheep. There weren’t so many humans to kill but almost as many were killed as in the current fires.

Google Australian bush fires, they are quite common (once per year) and frequently kill many more humans than this episode. It’s a tough spot for mammals in general really.

Unfortunately you mistakenly took up my post as meaning that there had been no bushfires in Australia up to 1991.

Then you spent 20 minutes googling Australian bush fires from the 19th century in an effort to prove wrong the non-assertion that you had mistakenly “understood” from my post. :smile:

You did all that because you’re terminally thick, mate.

Eh mate?

Eh mate?

Did they edit the article in the past 15 hours?

There were bushfires in 1991 mate.
Like every year in recorded history.

Thats very interesting, and it makes full sense to prepare for the worst, or in fact the inevitable. Will water be even drinkable or usable for agriculture then though? Time to re learn a bit of farming and oil the shotgun

Thanks for using your time to Google that to make sure

Time well spent for you, relatively speaking of course

Where and when was the biggest bush fire in Queensland in 1799, just out of interest

It’s a very good article. The Homeless Garden Project are a wonderful organization in a city I have much love for and the only logical approach to poverty and homelessness, give people meaning in their lives. Meanwhile clowns in San Fran hand out free needles and claim they are doing good.

The takeaway message though is the climate change war has been lost and what do we do now.

Probably not as bad as the bushfires in 100,000BC. Thousands of species went extinct.

Keep em comin bro this is fascinating shtuff and makes a lot of sense.

Im definitely goin to that loins tour in south Africa next year. There won’t be one in 13 years.

I dunno mate. Did they?

What do we do? Move to a mostly empty north American country with plentiful high ground and scope to survive a temperature rise?
