Why isn't New Zealand as dry?

The initial 'cause' of any given fire is not the issue.
It is the conditions on the ground that allow for easy combustion and difficulty in controlling and extinguishing the fire once begun.
This counter argument that X, Y or Z did not cause an incident (i.e. global warming is not caused by mankind) is overly simplistic and dangerous. It does not take into account all the factors involved nor the context which the initiating 'spark' so to speak was a single piece.
It's the same argument that tobacco company's used, "Cigarette smoking doesn't 'cause'" lung cancer." The 19th and 20th centuries deconstructive methods of the science and thinking are no longer valid for the complex problems we need to answer contemporary questions.
Why isn't New Zealand as dry?
Why isn't New Hampshire as dry as Arizona?

Why isn't New Zealand as dry?
Australia is a continental landmass of 7.692 million km²
That means in retains more heat in its interior, and weather patterns form in a different manner to an island like New Zealand.
New Zealand is an island of 268,021 km² (nearly 29 times smaller than Australia) which is over 1000 miles from Australia in the Pacific Ocean, and further south so not only is it considerably smaller, it is predominently exposed to weather patterns driven by sea currents from the South Pacific and Southern Oceans.
Hope that explains it.

Does that mean climate change cannot exacerbate the problem?
Australia see temps just like this every summer
Just like California
Both were the climate is similar they have the same bushfire problems, we are seeing an increase due to far left climate alarmists exacerbating bushfires, not climate
When you see a bush fires on this scale in parts of the world it isn’t the norm, you might have a point but everything looks pretty normal
Bull...

No # people start fires, we had a dickhead start 2 in my town on 28th December, he is 31 years old.
It doesn't mean that climate change isn't real, deniers sound like flat Earthers to be honest.
Climate change is pretty obvious if you pay attention to what going on around you.
And some people still think it's about collecting tax? Total morons.

Climate change is obvious? Or maybe you mean weather change is obvious? Climate change happens over thousands of years, it's a cyclical thing. Humans are not causing it.

"Read the report"
Nope, already seen more crap from them than I care too. Raw data from many station show a cooling trend over last 100 years ....
But is remodelled by BOM to show a warming trend....
This remodelling – known as homogenisation – involves the detection of discontinuities and then adjustments which generally result in past temperatures being cooled relative to the present. By cooling the past, present temperatures appear hotter. For example, considering maximum temperatures at Rutherglen, the largest single drop-down (adjustment) to daily temperatures occurs from 1 January 1938 back in time. The Bureau classifies the hot summer of 1938/1939 as a ‘discontinuity’ that is ‘statistical’ in ‘cause’ and then cools all the days before 31 December 1938 by 0.6 degrees Celsius back to 1912 – the beginning of the record.

They have also been caught adding fake data so I am not interested pressing my point. If you care to find truth then you can research it yourself.

He says it cycles, yet he says this cycle is climate change but the others weren't? That isn't even correlation.
Yes, we are poluting, but what the Paris Climate change BS is pushing is not going to fix the problem. We need to build things to last way longer, remaking all this death dated crap with short life has to stop. That is the best way to fix it. Also, we need to stop dumping all these chemicals onto our land, it is killing the organisms that actually tie up the carbon. Lots of microbes are beneficial to the environment.
The climate agenda scam is just a scam, the old environmentalists back in the seventies were trying to tell people to stop all of the destruction to the environment, heck, they would pile six to eight people into a VW van and travel hundreds of miles to go to demonstrations, they did not fly or travel individually, they actually carpooled. One person flying across the country equates to more fuel than three people driving across the country in a car. So, a couple flying across the country is way worse than them driving. On top of that, if you had to drive, you would probably not go because your vacation would be all traveling.
It is all screwed up now, Activists do not have to slam people, they need to educate them and get the people to demand products that last way longer. It would save money if everything lasted twice as long too, even if the cost was a third more. China can make products that last but the importers from America want them to fail so they can sell new ones again in a few years. Our economy is consumer based now mostly, so everyone has to buy more often so our people got jobs selling and transporting goods from china, we should make more here where environmental standards are higher.
I agree entirely about goods needing to last longer. Consumer capitalism has bought about a situation of planned obsolescence so that people are always buying and consuming. That has got to stop - but stopping that is very bad for business. The other stuff you mention about not believing in the climate science that is before us. Might as well be a flat earther at this point. Sorry but it is fact, pure and simple, undeniably proven fact. If you do not believe the overwhelming weight of peer reviewed evidence on this matter then the conversation ends here for me. I will not waste my time because nothing I can say, or link to will make you believe otherwise.

Can you go grab that graph that show the Earths average temps were taken from the dawn of scientific tools for measuring temps were fairly accurate and then the one the Geologist have over the epics?

Here you are climate change deniers, read this report if you can
www.bom.gov.au...
These changes affect many Australians, particularly the changes associated with increases in the frequency or intensity of heat events, fire weather and drought. Australia will need to plan for and adapt to some level of climate change.

BULL^&$%
Magma is very close to the surface and when it moves to the orientation of the new magnetic pole or as it moves, the entire world is going to see dramatic changes with EQ's and with strange weather.
No they aren't.
Magma and Water are affected by the location of the Magnetic Poles.
