Our PM, Scott Morrison is right when he said that even if we (Australia) stopped all Carbon emissions that would have had no effect on these bushfires, he is right when he says we are only a small carbon emitter (only 1.3% of total global emissions although we are one of the highest polluters per capita ) so anything we do will have little effect on the global problem. While he is correct on these two points, how can we ask the rest of the world to change its polluting ways when we are not prepared to do the same??

as four people remain missing in the blazes.

Not that long ago, Australia was a highly respected member of the world community, we were perceived as a fair, compassionate and honest broker in the Asia/Pacific with stable, accountable government, strong non-partisan institutions, excellent scientific/medical research teams and often punching above our weight on the sporting field.
