Ecologist Serves A Massive Burn To Founder Of AccuWeather After He Tells Her To Get Educated
Australia is currently suffering from devastating bushfires that are spread across the country, consuming an estimated 10.7 million hectares (26 million acres; 107,000 square kilometers; 41,000 square miles) and taking 28 people’s lives as of 8 January 2020. The animal population of Australia is taking hit after hit as millions of animals were either lost to the fires or will most likely perish due to loss of food and habitat. It is currently estimated that over a billion animals were lost to the ongoing 2019–’20 Australian bushfire season.
There have been many claims online being spread alleging that arsons were to blame for the current tragic situation in Australia. And while NSW police say they have charged 24 people with deliberately putting bushes to flame, most of the information related to “arson emergency” is vastly exaggerated.
Assistant Professor of Climate Science, Dr. Jacquelyn Gill recently served a monumental burn on Twitter

While it’s true that some people have been charged with arson, it is hard to deny that the current bushfire season has not been a consequence of climate change. Ecologist and associate professor Dr. Jacquelyn Gill took to Twitter to explain how climate change affects our environment and how it was a huge factor in the current fires Australia has been experiencing.
She first responded to a tweet about climate change deniers

However, not everyone was buying Gill’s story, one of those, a self-proclaimed “US Weather Expert”, AccuWeather’s senior VP Mike Smith, decided to voice his opinion. The man called Gill’s response “nonsense” and urged her to get educated on the matter. What he did not see coming was Dr. Jacquelyn Gill’s next reply where she proudly stated that she’s actually a professor teaching the very same subject Smith was trying to school her on. Of course, Twitter met such a clash and satisfying finale with thunderous applause (well, many gifs and memes, to be precise).

However, she had the perfect response, as any professor would, duh!

I find it disturbing that one of the VPs of one of the most trusted meteorology websites in America doesn't understand climate change, or is that just par for the course?
I think it's simply politically motivated global-warming denialism.

We know what caused the Dust Bowl it was caused by destruction of the grasslands that held the soil together to till the land to produce crops. On a side note Australian officials have charged over 20 people with arson and are investigating more. However, that doesn't mean that climate changes haven't accelerated or made the problem worse.
We have learned that controlled burns of brush, reduce the hot fires that occur when the dried fuel is allowed to build.

What kind of teenyweenie does he have to give such snotty comebacks? Why do I suspect he still lights his frrts?
