Victorian Bushfires

[Jovial Monk]

66 people have now been confirmed to have died in the fires in Victoria. There seems to have been square kilometers of countryside burnt!

Hope no one here has anyone near that lost property or life in the fires.

Way worse than the Ash Wednesday fires, and I drove through kilometres of burnt forest, going to Pt Elliot via Meadows a couple weeks afterwards.

I cannot imagine the fierceness and deadliness of those fires!

[Jovial Monk]

Hmmmm maybe we can't afford small settlements/subdivisions? That is where the deaths happened. Every year the bushfires are bigger and hotter. . .

Yes Monk, every calamity from arson to the fall of the West Coast Eagles is due to global warming.

Maybe stick the 'snow in england so no GW' eh?

Didja even look at the link? It doesn't mention your dick I am afraid, but a good read nevertheless.

Had my dick been available to the fire fighters of Victoria, lives would have been saved, lives would have been saved.

No home brew, real beer to feed the pump.

[Jovial Monk]

Homebrew is the realest beer there is!

Yes Monk, every calamity from arson to the fall of the West Coast Eagles is due to global warming.

Well in this case, it is probably true.

Nothing to do with building settlements in eucalypt forests then?

Hmmm I should have said "Heatwaves and global warming"

Of course, heatwaves are associated with bushfires, we get very few bushfires in winter.
