For those that like going on holiday to Spain for fish and chips breakfasts with a pint of beer:
"Spain has joined Poland in becoming the second country this week to claim it could ditch the EU, amid growing fury at the power that Brussels holds over member-states. Spain’s third biggest party Vox is under huge pressure to back the Spanish version of the Brexit referendum, following growing fury at an ECJ ruling this week. Vox’s own party president lambasted the EU, claiming when the ECJ overruled Spanish courts, it had humiliated the country and its sovereignty. "

The Green Blob blame fires on Global Warming without evidence.
It is of course possible that some of the arsonists have been motivated by the Green Blob.
Generating headlines with dramatic video footage is all the Green Blob can do, as Climate Science has failed to provide evidence.

Politico is at it too - no mention of arsonists in this alarmist piece either:

"Can Macron douse Australia’s fires?
As the country burns and chokes, its leaders fail to act on climate change."

"How is Australia tackling climate change?
By Jack Goodman
BBC Reality Check"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-50869565

[BBC implicitly links bushfires and climate change again; no mention of arsonists:]

"The Australian government is facing criticism over its climate policies as the country deals with devastating bushfires and a historic heatwave.

It has contributed to the long-running debate about the country's approach to climate change. So what is it doing to reduce carbon emissions?

Australia is one of the world's biggest per capita greenhouse gas emitters.

Under the Paris Climate Agreement, created to tackle rising temperatures, Australia set a target of a 26-28% reduction in emissions compared with 2005 levels by 2030.

These goals have been criticised for being too low, and last year the United Nations (UN) reported that Australia was not on track.

The UN found that: "There has been no improvement in Australia's climate policy since 2017 and emission levels for 2030 are projected to be well above the target."

About half of the G20 countries (those with the biggest economies), including Australia, are falling short.

...Scientists round the world are looking aghast at the politics of climate change in Australia.

It's one of the most vulnerable countries on the planet to rising temperatures, yet there is still denial about the impacts of rising CO2 levels on events like the current wildfires.

There is no serious doubt among scientific institutions that rising global temperatures are leading to record heat.

The heatwaves are driven by a natural phenomenon but they are adding to an already over-heated planet.

In the election, the victorious Liberal (conservative) Party categorised climate change as a metropolitan fad for urban professionals, and gained support for the world's biggest coal mine.

Coal is the dirtiest fuel and scientists say we shouldn't be building more coal-fired power stations if we want to stabilise the climate."

"How Greta Thunberg inspired a pantomime"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/entertainment-arts-50856959/how-greta-thunberg-inspired-a-pantomime

"Greta Thunberg may be a player on the world's political stage but the Swedish teenager has also inspired an environmentally-themed pantomime in Poole, Dorset.

The show was created by former Blue Peter presenter Peter Duncan and also boasts a gas-guzzling giant made from recycled lilos and plastic bottles."

[Greta has indeed inspired a pantomime, but not the one referred to in this article...].

>"Oz has an arsonist problem
not a climate crisis"

Yes. The MSM (or least those in Oz) are extremely reluctant to report this as they perceive it to make "climate change" bushfires less scary than if ignited by lightning.

The usual egregiously lying MSM.

There is also an underlying issue with authority, in that arsonists causing such widespread damage and deaths provoke people into vigilantism. Authorities actually tacitly prefer the risk to the population rather than arson constantly on the front page. Beyond despicable.

St Greta is working miracles in alienating World leaders. Only one now remains, but she is working hard to alienate the EU
