To put this in perspective  this year’s wildfires may have burnt an area the size of Switzerland but the past has been more horrific.

In addition, droughts in 1977-1978 and 2002-2003  were as bad or worse in eastern Australia. Yet does the media put it in perspective?

This is not about climate, its about using climate hysteria and weaponizing any event for another agenda. You are free to guess what that is.
