Hillary Clinton, her liberal friends in Hollywood, and the mainstream media want the world to believe that the changing climate is to blame for raging brushfires in Australia that have killed dozens of people and millions of animals.

It’s fake news.

“Australia’s brushfire emergency, spurred by climate change, has killed 24 people, destroyed thousands of homes, and led to the loss of an estimated half a billion animals,” Clinton tweeted Monday, along with a link. “Here are ways you can help.”

Australian actress Cate Blanchett lectured the world at the Golden Globes Sunday night, as well.

“When one country faces a climate disaster, we all face a climate disaster,” she said as she demanded action against “climate change.”

Officials in Australia, meanwhile, have repeatedly stated over the last several weeks that most of the blazes ravaging the country were set by arsonists or kids playing with fire.

“About 85 percent are related to human activity, 13 percent confirmed arson and 37 percent suspected arson,” Paul Read, co-director of the National Centre for Research in Bushfire and Arson, told ABC News. “The rest are usually due to reckless fire lighting or even just children playing with fire.”

He said the problem typically flares up during the Australian summer, and when kids are out of school for the holidays.

“School holidays are a prime time for fire bugs, but especially over summer,” he said. “The kids have got time to get out there and light, and the most dangerous adults choose hot days.”

The Brisbane Times reports official figures obtained by AAP show police believe 103 of the fires in Queensland since September were intentionally set, with police taking action against 98 people – 31 adults and 67 juveniles.

The Times reports:

A 16-year-old boy found to have started a fire that razed 14 homes in central Queensland and dealt with under the state’s Youth Justice Act.

Two more teens, 14 and 15, were changed with endangering property by fire over a blaze that destroyed two homes and forced hundreds to flee.

More than 120 fires are still being investigated and more people could be charged.

Combined with New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, local authorities have arrested a total of 183 people for lighting brushfires, according to The Australian.

The problem is now so obvious authorities have launched “Strike Force Indarra” – a special group of investigators comprised of arson specialists, homicide experts and local detectives – to crack down on folks who start fires for fun, 7 News Sydney reports.
