“Why we need to politicise the bushfires”
Whoever decided to launch The Guardian in Australia: thank you.
Love the last two paragraphs of this piece:
Nobody is saying we should stop talking about the fires and talk about global warming instead. With the Greens working harder than anyone else to get more resources for emergency services, certainly nobody is saying we should stop battling the bushfires and tackle global warming instead.
Only when we’re smart enough to do both at the same time will we truly be fighting fires.
Click through for all of the reasoning.

@AstroKatie @Hippopeteamus @lkrms “political” all too often conflated with “partisan”.
@redtwitdown @Hippopeteamus @lkrms When evidence-based scientific conclusions are partisan, impossible to avoid accusations of bias.
@AstroKatie @Hippopeteamus @lkrms A party choosing to ignore it does not, strictly, make the science partisan, but yes, deliberately so :-(
