Australian fires.


 Australian Bushfires

  
 Im not going to say anything , just copy and paste the data from the official websites and will leave the reader to draw their own conclusions.
Some maths;
Specific Heat Capacity (C or S ) - The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity of the substance. The quantity of heat is frequently measured in units of Joules(J).
     Another property, the specific heat, is the heat capacity of the substance per gram of the substance. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g° C.
q = m x C x (Tf - Ti)
q = amount of heat energy gained or lost by substance
m = mass of sample   C = heat capacity (J oC-1 g-1 or J K-1 g-1)  Tf = final temperature   Ti = initial temperature

q = m x C x (Tf - Ti)

Specific heat of some gasses
Substance     C  (J/g oC);
 Air    1.01    Aluminum     0.902     Copper     0.385    Gold     0.129   Iron     0.450   Mercury     0.140
 NaCl     0.864    Ice     2.03  Water     4.18  Blast furnace gas  1.03   Carbon dioxide  CO2 0.844       Carbon monoxide CO  1.02


 

Before we actually move on to actually look at the Australian fires lets look at a castle in England and a castle in Australia .



 Harlech Castle (Welsh: Castell Harlech),
    located in Harlech, Gwynedd, Wales, is a Grade I-listed medieval fortification, constructed atop a spur of rock close to the Irish Sea. It was built by Edward I during his invasion of Wales between 1282 and 1289 at the relatively modest cost of £8,190 notice it was designed to be re-supplied BY SEA.

Good luck with that now!

Now lets move on !   Australia. According to the New Zealand Herald ( newspaper).  this is all climate change nothing to do with the 100 arsons, council ineptitude (e.g. banning fire breaks), fire department funding slashes, spending on war and spy toys not critical local infrastructure, ignoring indigenous habits learned over 50,000 year, Antarctic draft – a non climate change phenomenon, flammable retardant in rain making aerosols (used ironically to fight fires), water sold off to water miners (instead of used for local purposes such as combating drought and fire), a seventy year weather cycle that has brought major fire crisis after major fire crisis since Australia European colonisation.
    Or a naturally occurring solar cycle, or the mass rape of Australia water supply (such as the Murray Darling basin fiasco) were through bipartisan (corporate backed lobbyist) permitted water harvesting and private dams the valley has being pushed into a drought that is entirely man made."
A study on temperature  reveals;

VICTORIA’S HIGHEST TEMPERATURE ON RECORD, 123.5°F (50.8°C),
AT MILDURA, ON 6 JANUARY 1906 – BUT IS IT VALID?

Cubbie Station, the largest irrigation property in the southern hemisphere, is located near Dirranbandi, in south west Queensland, Australia. The station comprises 93,000 hectares (230,000 acres) and is operated by CS Agriculture, a joint venture between Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (MIRA) (49%) and Shandong Ruyi (51%), a textile manufacturer owned by investors from China and Japan.  ( this water is coming from where ?)  This is just a small example. We forget about fracking , private dams and the under funding of the fire services
Quote "
As Prime Minister Scott Morrison offers thoughts and prayers to those ravaged by severe bushfires across NSW, let’s not forget that his Liberal Party colleagues in the state government slashed tens of millions of dollars from state fire services just this year.
In the latest state budget, $12.9 million in expenses was cut from Fire & Rescue NSW, while the Office of NSW Rural Fire Services — a service run by volunteers — lost $26.7 million in expenses.
Byron Bay, which is currently being torn apart by fires, was also promised $5.85 million for a new fire station in Kingscliff. The funding has yet to arrive.
The cuts were all part of a larger $3.2 billion shake-up in the public sector, which saw thousands of jobs, bonuses and long-service leave entitlements lost.
Here are some of the ways state fire services could have spent those missing millions.

    The annual salary of 488 qualified firefighters, or 384 station officers
    Almost 70 new “Class 3 Pumper” trucks, heavy fire engines for both metro and regional areas which cost around $580,000 each
    115 4WD fire trucks to reach fires in difficult terrain, worth $350,000 each
    Almost 50,000 fire-protective helmets at $818 each
    123,100 flame resistant rescue coveralls at $329 each
    10,739 gas exposure testing kits at $3,771 each
    The annual salary of 260 superintendents, or 241 chief superintendents."

they even call it the fire season! 
From Wikipedia: The record for the longest heat wave in the world is generally accepted to have been set in Marble Bar in Australia, where from October 31, 1923 to April 7, 1924 the temperature broke the 37.8 °C (100.0 °F) benchmark, setting the heat wave record at 160 days.!  ( The Marble Bar heatwave, 1923-24

    CO2 was 305 ppm at the time. Imagine the press coverage if this happened now.                          

From The Australian Bureau Of Meteorology:
1897-1898: On Red Tuesday, 1 February 1898 in Victoria 260,000 hectares (640,000 acres) were burnt, 12 people were killed and 2000 buildings were destroyed (DSE 2003b).
 During the 1925–26 Victorian bushfire season a series of major bushfires occurred between 26 January and 10 March 1926 in the state of Victoria in Australia.[1][2] A total of 60 people were killed with 700 injured, and 1000 buildings and 390,000 ha were destroyed across the south-east of the state.
On 14 February, later referred to as Black Sunday, bushfires swept across Gippsland, the Yarra Valley, the Dandenong Ranges and the Kinglake area. The fires had originated in forest areas on 26 January, but wind gusts of up to 97 km per hour led to the joining of the fire fronts on 14 February.  In the Warburton area alone, 31 deaths were recorded including 14 at Wooley's Mill in Gilderoy, 6 at Big Pats Creek and 2 at Powelltown.  Other affected settlements included Noojee, Erica and Kinglake, where St Mary's Church and Thompson's Hotel were amongst the buildings destroyed.

1850-1851: The Black Thursday bushfires of 6 February 1851 in Victoria, burnt the second largest area (approximately 5,000,000 hectares (12,000,000 acres)) in European-recorded history and killed more than one million sheep and thousands of cattle as well as taking the lives of 12 people (CFA 2003a; DSE 2003b).
There is many many more examples of fraudulent mis-reporting. Here you can see the news reporter standing in front of the map HIDING the temperatures in that region

Im not going to give you a wrap-up, I will leave this to your own good-self.   I will however say that the news uses techniques to represent data which may lead the viewer to a erroneous conclusion.
