Bananasphinx said [pretty much the entire scientific community would now say that extreme weather is caused by a changing climate. It was even there in black and white in that bushfire royal commission.]
So you and (that bushfire royal commission) have forgotten that the BoM in Sep 2019 reported that an Antarctic phenomena referred to as “sudden stratospheric warming” was worsening the drought so as rainfall decreased; the chance of heatwaves rose and fire risk increased. The air above Antarctica is suddenly getting warmer – here's what it means for Australia 9 September 2019
The ABC reported on this - Rare weather event over Antarctica driving Australia's hot, dry outlook 6Sep2019 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-09-06/rare-weather-event-over-antarctica-drives-hot-outlook/11481498
The ABC quotes the BoM saying - quote “SSW is not thought to be caused by global warming. “We view SSW as a natural, internally-generated phenomena,” Dr Hendon said.”
These facts have been totally lost in the responses post the Black-Summer fires and “sudden stratospheric warming” was not mentioned in 2020 news that I saw.
