Much like in California, the fires were mostly caused by humans, but, not via “carbon pollution”
Were the people who set the fires in Australia “regular” arsonists? Or were they environmental activists manufacturing a crisis for PR and fundraising? I hope police will find out. https://t.co/csqDsnvVI6

Then there’s this from the Sydney Morning Herald
Arson, mischief and recklessness: 87 per cent of fires are man-made
There are, on average, 62,000 fires in Australia every year. Only a very small number strike far from populated areas and satellite studies tell us that lightning is responsible for only 13 per cent. Not so the current fires threatening to engulf Queensland and NSW. There were no lightning strikes on most of the days when the fires first started in September. Although there have been since, these fires – joining up to create a new form of mega-fire – are almost all man-made.
A 2015 satellite analysis of 113,000 fires from 1997-2009 confirmed what we had known for some time – 40 per cent of fires are deliberately lit, another 47 per cent accidental. This generally matches previous data published a decade earlier that about half of all fires were suspected or deliberate arson, and 37 per cent accidental. Combined, they reach the same conclusion: 87 per cent are man-made.
Seasonal changes, in part due to climate change on top of natural oscillations causing the drought and westerly winds, have some origins in man-made emissions. More directly, however, the source of ignition is human.
It’s not lost on police, emergency services and firefighters at the front line that most of these fires were lit deliberately, or accidentally through recklessness, nor that they are unprecedented in their timing and ferocity. Since September, it has been a constant pattern that a few days after the fires roar through we have the first police reports that arson or recklessness was involved.
One really does have to wonder how many are being set by members of the Cult of Climastrology in order to push their cult. Think that’s conspiracy theory?

The Washington Post is yammering about Aussies ditching “climate denial” because of the fires. They missed how many have been started by people. How many of the California fires have been caused by humans and companies, rather than ‘climate change’? All.
