and idiot humans have no part in that ?

The anthropogenic word in "Anthropogenic global warming" means "man made", so of course idiot humans have a part in this.

in the US greenies policy not letting brush be cleared and trees cut down near power lines

Yeah, I use that excuse whenever the missus nags me to cut the lawn. "Sorry dear, the greenies won't let me."

Blaming the greens for power company failure is a common trick. Funny enough, nobody can actually point to the actual law that prevents power companies keeping their power lines safe. It's always just rumour: "the greenies won't let 'em".

In any case, that's irrelevant to my comment. Failure to maintain the lines isn't going to bring bushfire season forward by four or five months. To get bushfires and wildfires you need two things: there has to be fuel (leaf litter, twigs, dead branches etc), and the conditions have to be right.

If the fuel has more than 30% moisture content, you cannot get a wildfire. If the moisture content falls below 10%, its a bomb waiting to go off.

It used to take four or five months from the end of winter to the point that you can have bushfires in Australia. Now it happens in just a month or two. That's nothing to do with greenies preventing power companies from maintaining the safety of their power lines.

Anthropogenic global warming

except that phrase is rarely used and most of the 'bought into its' assume everybody does]

there is climate change, but humans in the equation are barely a smudge on the surface of the sun

i was stating causes of many of the fires which have happened in the US

and you obviously have your excuses for being on of the 'bought into it' lemmings
