RE: Australian Bushfire Donations

I know that bushfires happen every year in Australia but what is happening now is more like continental natural disaster, the scale of it is so huge.
It's amazing, almost miracles that lost of human life is so small, thanks to firefighters and their bravery.
It's in human nature to find someone to blame when horrible things happened, but I believe that we all are to blame for climate change.

Hope that this disaster will end soon, and Australia will rebuild and heal in time.
All the best to you @paulmp and your family friends and country.

While the changing climate is certainly a factor, the reality is that over 40% of these fires were lit by arsonists unfortunately. There are other factors involved too such as the fact that some of the bushfires are now generating their own micro-climate which is generating lightning and starting more bushfires.
Another major factor is that much of the land has been locked up, fire trails have overgrown and the land has not been managed properly, so there is over a decade of fuel on the ground, increasing the heat in the fires.
I'm not at all saying the climate has had no influence, it obviously has, but it isn't a major factor in these fires from what I understand the experts seem to be saying.
Thank you for your 100% upvote, it is much appreciated!
Thanks for that explanation @paulmp , here in UK news agency's have their own agenda. They never mentioned arsonists or government negligence ( Both equally shocking)🤬🤬🤬.
I do hope that this horrible bushfires will end soon.

Unfortunately there has been close to zero coverage of the arsonists here in Australia too, yet there have been numerous documented arrests for arson.
