Hugh Riminton: We Are A Burning Nation Led By Cowards

Among those determined to do nothing about climate change, the arguments have shifted over time. 

 Bushfires are behaving precisely as the
science predicted they would behave.

We know them all too well. But here’s a reminder. 

1: It’s a hoax.

2. It’s corruption. Climate scientists are scammers getting rich on grants.

3. It’s a mental illness. People reflecting the science are “alarmists”, “warmists” and “catastrophists” recklessly damaging the mental health of children.

4. It’s something we can’t talk about -- especially when the weather and bushfires are behaving precisely as the science predicted they would behave.

The trouble is, across the country people who have believed this stuff are having to swap their tinfoil hats for fire helmets. The predictions of the scientists are playing out exactly to the script. Reality is biting.
