You made it, now you can lay in it

There's lots of finger-pointing going on in Australia, with the congenital imbeciles who constitute the environmentalist movement screaming that the nationwide outbreak of wildfires is caused by climate change. Ironically, in a way they are correct. Because what the environmentalists and their media pals really don't want to talk about is this:

"New environmental policies that restrict 'prescribed burning,' where land owners burn off flammable ground cover in cooler months in a controlled manner so it doesn’t contribute to bushfires, have also exacerbated the problem."

If you restrict controlled burns, uncontrolled burns will increase in direct proportion. This is a well-known principle in land management. So the real problem here is not "climate change" or an increase in arson rates, but rather the irrational environmentalists who campaigned against controlled burns in the name of preventing "climate change," thereby providing copious fuel for uncontrollable wildfires.

I love the smell of irony in the morning.

(Yes, I know that it's afternoon. Shush, you.)
