Deadly Environmentalism

One of the big problems I have with many liberal cause-celebre is the negative impact they have on the poor and oppressed. Global warming hyperbole is quickly turning into deadly situations for people under the boot of do-gooders and without the resources to flee. The Australian fires are a prime example. Several people have died from what now appears to be deliberately set fires. These deaths were helped along by so-called 'green' policies that forbid property owners from clearing bush and trees close to buildings.

If you were rich enough, you could clear your property, pay the fine, and not die in the fires. However, most people don't have the resources to take on the oppressive government while maintaining their property, so they or their family died. Here is a story outlining a tale of two families oppressed by the same governmental law, one lost money the other watched family die.
