The Greens are trying to blame the latest killer fires in Australia on global warming, but the locals who bore the brunt of the flames, many of whom lost friends and family, are having none of those lies. The fault lies in the policies of the environmentalist governments:

ANGRY residents last night accused local authorities of contributing to the bushfire toll by failing to let residents chop down trees and clear up bushland that posed a fire risk.

During question time at a packed community meeting in Arthurs Creek on Melbourne’s northern fringe, Warwick Spooner — whose mother Marilyn and brother Damien perished along with their home in the Strathewen blaze — criticised the Nillumbik council for the limitations it placed on residents wanting the council’s help or permission to clean up around their properties in preparation for the bushfire season. “We’ve lost two people in my family because you dickheads won’t cut trees down,” he said.

George Reisman is right about the Greens; they are killers.
