You are reinforcing his point by making these silly exaggerated claims of doomsday scenarios. Nearly 50 years ago, the 1974-1975 bush fires burnt 95 million hectares, which is an order of magnitude bigger than the 10.7 million burnt so far in 2019-2020. Epic bush fires have been regularly occurring in Australia for a very long time, well before the industrial revolution.
Also note that some of these fires were started by arsonists, which is obviously not climate related.

- backupcavalry 7y agoI'm starting to think people will refuse to understand just how deep in the proverbial mud we're already in until we're all actively on fire, given comments like these. Which world do you live in has regular occurrences of fires so big they turn the skies orange in an adjacent country?
