Sorry no comment. This image IS my comment.

Environmental activist Al Gore has likened Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s insistence that wildfires are not linked to climate change to the tobacco industry claiming smoking does not cause lung cancer.
The former US vice president and Nobel laureate was commenting after Abbott this week dismissed UN climate chief Christiana Figueres’ assertion that there was “absolutely” a connection between wildfires and rising temperatures.
Australia has been battling massive bushfires west of Sydney for more than a week in unseasonably hot and dry weather that has inflamed debate about whether there is a link to changing climate conditions.
