especially when it took someone really stupid to start the fires
i hope they catch whoever did it and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law
of course it is a large number...i didnt mean to downplay that at all...
i am sorry this is happening to your country....i dont even want to think about the wildlife and all...i have been reading the stories of families separated and trying to find each other...the cars being overtaken by the fires..the saddest the man who said..."i lost both my kids, mate, nothing matters"

that really confused me...has nothing to do with being an american...has everything to do with reconizing what is going on in another country...plus...need i remind you..oz is a strong ally of the us.
did you see where the nutzos are calling for an forest fire or arson jihad?
6 degrees farenheit in my neck of the woods.
The last two winters have been colder than we've had in decades in my neck of the woods. Global warming my ass.
arent the summers down under always hotter than our summers anyway?Well down here Charles we have very sober-minded people looking at the way thngs are changing here and they're looking to the future. Already we're thinking of how we may have to adapt to what is a rapidly changing climate here. One of the problems we have right now is the southward (towards the previously temperate zones) of dengue fever, a disease that is endemic in our tropical north but which is now moving south as the climate changes. It's a world-wide phenomenon, it's occurring outside of Michigan, I assure you.
When we moved into our rural haven at Cottles Bridge the clock started ticking on 10 years of well-below-average rainfall. The summers became hotter and hotter until this year, when day after day of intense heat left the landscape looking like it had been left in the oven too long. And the leaves on the trees we had been boldly planting all these years were burnt brown by the sun and shrivelled while I heaved buckets of water around the place trying desperately to sustain them

um, from whats been said already, these fires are NOT from natural happenings, but were set by moronsWell down here Charles we have very sober-minded people looking at the way thngs are changing here and they're looking to the future.

While many in the US want to deny it, things are changing here, also. Our mountain snows are gone much earlier than was the case for most of the last century. Many of the trees in our forests are bug infested, because the bugs are starting their life cycles earlier, before their natural predetors, the birds, are back, even though the birds now are also reacting to the changing climate. Because of the amount of dead wood, and summer drying from lack of higher elevation snows, our forest fires tend now to start crowning with less wind. So what would have been a ground fire 50 years ago, a boon to the forest, now turns into a crown fire, destroying the forest.
Here in the Northwest, the summers have been warmer, the winters much warmer than in the past. And we have had much more intense storms than we had in the last century. We have had many winters now where we thought we had an adaquete snowpack, only to see it melt off much too early. Western Washington and Western Oregon are feeling that only in relation to forest fires and munincipal resouvoirs, however, Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington are losing agricultural production because of the lack of late season water.
this has absolutely NOTHING to do with gorebal warming
