Experts have contradicted Scott Morrison's claim that Australia's level of greenhouse gas emissions could not have increased the current level of risk from bushfires.

| Prime Minister Scott Morrison claimed "Australia is an over-achiever on global commitments" to climate change. |
The Prime Minister said on Thursday climate change is a "global phenomenon" and Australia is doing its bit to reduce emissions.
He has acknowledged that climate change increases bushfire risk, but said there could be no link drawn between our emissions and any current bushfires.
"To suggest that with just 1.3 per cent of global emissions that Australia doing something differently, more or less, would have changed the fire outcome this season, I don't think that stands up to any credible scientific evidence at all," Mr Morrison said.
