If you’d listened to the scientists and the fire chiefs you’d know that changing climate conditions aren’t the ignition source but are exacerbating the fires. The season is now starting in winter, burning hotter, burning longer, burning in regions that previously weren’t at risk of bushfires and the number of safe days to perform controlled hazard reduction burns has decreased. You’d also know the wildfires in the northern hemisphere lasted far longer this season, meaning firefighting assets were tied up there for longer
