The government won't say the words 'climate change' and 'fires' in the same sentence.

A great deal of NSW is currently on fire. It is Spring.

Usually that kind of environmental devastation begins, at worst, in Summer. So many blazes, particularly at this time of year, is worryingly out of the ordinary.

Of course, we all knew that something like this was coming. Weve been warned for decades that climate change was set to increase the number of freak weather events, and that the drought would continue to dry out our natural woodlands, making blazes inevitable.

But just try telling that to Australias politicians. After all, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Prime Minister Scott Morrison have spent every hour since the blazes began vehemently attempting to deny any link between the destruction and climate change.

According to them, its not right to politicise the blazes. Instead, we should simply mourn a problem while obstinately, repeatedly ignoring its causes.

Its enough to make you weep. Or, at least, thanks to those folks over at SBSsThe Feed, to weep while bitterly laughing.
