The problem is most of the fire chiefs just don’t agree with him on the impact of climate change. In Australia, as in America, the conservatives’ strategic partner in climate change denial has been the Murdoch media.

I stand by what I said a decade ago: climate change represents the greatest economic, environmental and moral challenge of our time.
