Ostriches Downunder?

I always believed that your basic Australian 'tells it how it is' with little self-delusion but the claim by their current PM that there is nothing credible to link the current intense season of bushfires to the 'mere' 1.3% of greenhouse gas emissions generated by that continent somewhat explodes that myth (https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/nov/21/scott-morrison-says-no-evidence-links-australias-carbon-emissions-to-bushfires). He even suggests that they can safely increase their emissions by burning more coal!
