Evacuations ordered as firefighters struggle to contain blazes in Australia

Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who has declined to comment on climate change during the crisis, has called for moderation in the debate.

Another moron who has managed to get a postion as 'leader'. Aren't people in postions of most responsibility meant to be educated and intelligent? And BTW, you cannot debate facts.

The only thing that should be debated are the policy changes we need to face up to the realities of the climate issue - not business as usual.

well, he would be perfectly happy with Australia inhabited only by Mining companies... so not exactly his problem.

'Moderate' Denialists always say that 'now is not the time to debate climate change' when the reality and costs of climate change are rubbing themselves in the face of the public.

Full blown fantatists and those evil enough that they know that climate change is real, but fight against dealing with it anyway for personal gain react to the reality and costs of climate change dominating the people's attention by blaming what is happening on the people who have been trying to minimize the costs of climate change, to cover up their own responsibility.
